The Laborers’ International Union of North America

is a powerhouse of workers who are proud to build the United States and Canada. A half-million strong, we are united through collective bargaining agreements which help us earn family-supporting pay, good benefits and the opportunity for advancement and better lives. In New Jersey we represent more than 25,000 members, mostly in construction. We provide the skilled and productive workforce to thousands of top employers and are proud to not just build but build better.

Through the New Jersey Construction Craft Laborers Apprenticeship Program, men and women receive the safety and skills training to build a career as a Union Laborer. No experience is necessary to enter the program and all classes are offered free-of-charge to LIUNA members in good standing.
