The men and women who build America are hearing straight from the Democratic candidates on their plans to create good jobs, reform immigration, fix the mortgage meltdown, and rebuild our nation's infrastructure to prevent another bridge collapse.
LiUNA is one of the fastest-growing unions in North America. Laborers fight for more opportunity for workers and employers, and for better wages, good benefits and safe jobs. Laborers build everything from skyscrapers to tunnels to the homes where we live. Laborers make buildings safe by removing hazardous materials like asbestos and lead and serve the public in hospitals and government across the continent. Laborers unite for the voice we deserve in an important political debate. Basically, these are the folks that make America work. LiUNA builds America.
LiUNA stands apart in the endorsement process – we are not making decisions in a room with a sliver of activists. Unlike many organizations, not only are we bringing our entire membership into the process, but we are giving them the tools to engage the candidates themselves and force the candidates to talk about issues that really matter. That is how people – not just our members, but the 10 million people who go to work everyday building this country -- will determine the best build America candidate.
But because we believe these are issues of fundamental interest to everyone, we've opened it up so that anyone can watch it streaming live today and tomorrow. (In fact, this is the first union webcast like this that we know of!) We're starting off bright and early at 8am CST today with Hillary Clinton, John Edwards at 9:25am, and Joe Biden at 9:55am. Bill Richardson will be broadcasting tomorrow from LiUNA! Live at 8:35am.
Grab a chair and tune in - our 500,000 members nationwide will be watching along with you. We'd love to hear how you think they did.
