“It’s time to be honest with you.
You’re the problem.
Every year about this time we warn you, the motoring public, that highway work is beginning across the country. State Police, State Departments of Transportation, workers, Unions, OSHA, and more; we produce public service announcements and billboards and newspaper ads begging you to be alert, slow down, and drop the phone in work zones.”
United we stand, union strong!
Representing hardworking members across our Local Unions. Together, we’re building stronger communities, supporting fair wages, and ensuring safe working conditions for all.
