As we say goodbye to #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate over 100 of our @weareliuna.bsky.social sisters from 5 NJ locals who came together for the 1st Annual Women's Dinner Dance—celebrating strength, solidarity, and sisterhood 👷♀️
And yes… they brought the #LIUNA energy to the dance floor!

Tomorrow we'll be getting a member's-eye view of our #solidarity rally & march in Newark from Percy Luján, a 1st Gen.
@weareliuna.bsky.social #Local78 member, originally from Peru.
Follow along Saturday on our Instagram to see LIUNA Power in action!
💰 It's #EqualPayDay & for the 2nd year in a row, the gender pay gap is widening in the US everywhere...
...except for women in #Unions.
That's b/c Union representation provides benefits that help close or eliminate the gender pay gap.
Women deserve equal pay for equal work.
📢 @weareliuna.bsky.social NJ Members—RALLY ALERT!
THIS Sat., March 28
11 AM
1 Springfield Ave., NEWARK, NJ
Wear your #LIUNA colors.
We've been fighting for our rights for 120+ yrs & we're not stopping now!
Let's show folks what we mean when we say #Solidarity is a VERB!
👷♂️ @weareliuna.bsky.social builds #infrastructure on-time & on-budget, like Portal North Bridge, Phase 1 of @gatewayprogram.bsky.social.
The new span replaces a 116-yr-old bridge that caused headaches for @amtrak.com & NJTRANSIT commuters.
#Local472 members rode the first train over the new span.
💪 "Get your ass out there and make it work! Make it a better community for everybody. Build our numbers. Build our workforce. Be an #activist."
Wise words from 20-yr @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 3 Member & new #JCBrigade Captain Merle Lockhart.
Give him a shout in the comments!
💪 "Get your ass out there and make it work!"
Merle Lockhart has carried that mindset through 20 years as a union member — and now he's stepping up as a Jersey City Brigade Captain.
Give him a shout 👏
🗣️ @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 66 Bus. Mgr. Vinny Alu advocates for #PLAs in Nassau County #schoolconstruction in
@newsday.bsky.social:
"PLAs don't just protect workers; they protect taxpayers.
"PLAs provide stability, predictability & oversight."

Substructure wear and tear on the existing Newark Bay Bridge
Substructure wear and tear on the existing Newark Bay Bridge.
🌁 A great day for @stateofnewjersey.bsky.social thx to NJTA approval of a new #NewarkBayBridge.
Folks know about the #congestion problems, but take it from skilled @weareliuna.bsky.social members, no one should be happy relying on a bridge in this condition.
A smart investment to keep NJ moving!
When we fight, we win! 💪
