Member of Rochester Laborers Local 435 of LIUNA (unofficial website)

Remarks from Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis LIUNA Convention September 12, 2011 Las Vegas, NV

About Your Local Union As a member, you are represented on the job by your Local Union. Your Local Union Business Manager shoulders this responsibility, in many cases with the assistance of one or more field representatives. In addition, your Business Manager may appoint stewards to provide day-to-day representation on the job site. Business Managers are selected by you—the union member—as are the other officers of your Local Union Executive Board. Your Local Union protects you in many ways, such as: Enforces rights under the collective bargaining agreement. Assists members in finding employment through its referral service or hiring hall. Provides apprenticeship and training programs, offering members the opportunity to develop and improve skills needed to obtain—and to retain—employment in an ever more complex and demanding working environment. Enforces legal rights, such as those extended to workers under the National Labor Relations Act. Promotes jobsite safety as guaranteed under OSHA. Protects against discrimination in employment by enforcing both contract rights and legal rights such as those found in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

Construction School Named After Local Laborer (click here) click here enlarge (click) A local laborer now has a school named after him. The Rochester City School District released the name of its new construction school Thursday at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center. The Robert Brown School of Construction and Design is scheduled to open next fall, replacing the Edison School of Applied Technology. Business Manager of Laborers Local 435 Bob Brown has been called an unsung hero in Rochester's construction industry. He has already helped many inner-city students begin their careers in construction trades, and he has big plans for the future. "When they go through our program we will get them a job. A job to a young girl or boy who comes back into the community to live means a big thing to most of the community to have it done that way and I think if we get it started there's no end in sight," said Brown. The school will inherit the House Building Project started by Brown two years ago with the RCSD and Edison High School. The new school will remain on the Edison campus.

Working People and Good Jobs are the Foundation of Our Economy, Not the Problem. Everyone will have to make sacrifices before our economy turns around. Working people have already made more sacrifices than most. But we cannot go backwards, lowering standards and degrading the foundation of the American Dream. Working people and good jobs built our economy and they are the key to our economic recovery. read full article http://blog.thehill.com/2008/11/28/working-people-and-good-jobs-are-the-foundation-of-our-economy-not-the-problem/ By Laborers' International Union of North America General President Terence O'Sullivan
