Explainer: New Report on Union Members

Union trades workers have been bannering the Catalyst Inc. job site at the Red Racoon games in downtown Bloomington.  The City of Bloomington helped subsidize this development, with some contractors coming from out-of-town.

Bloomington LIUNA 362's John Penn was celebrated with over 400 people in attendance at an Illinois State University Bone Student Center banquet on January 26.

Bureau of Labor Statistics data released today showed union membership in the United States grew by more than 273,000 in 2022, despite fierce and often illegal corporate union-busting.

This weekend, we are celebrating the great civil rights leader and our union brother. And we remember the lesson he always emphasized: The fight for civil rights and worker rights are intertwined. 

It’s a new year and we’re ready to support working people across the country—what about you? We’ll keep sharing ways you can protect union values. Take the pledge now that you’ll continue to take action.
