Being a member of LiUNA today means honouring a heritage that began in 1903 when courageous workers overcame hostility, threats and violence to join together. We honour that heritage through our struggles today – being heard in government, raising standards for workers and employers on the job, and reaching out to a new generation of workers yearning for a better life.
The rewards come in better pay, benefits and working conditions, and in pride for adding the strength of each of our voices to something stronger.
We are one of Canada’s most powerful and respected trade unions. We can help you and your co-workers greatly improve your wages, benefits and working conditions. We’ve done it for many others. We can do it for you.
Whether it’s by going to work for an employer who already works with LiUNA, or by joining with co-workers to organize and bring LiUNA into the workplace… you can join us!
LiUNA is known throughout Canada as a union that makes no compromises when it comes to the health and safety of its members.
In every province, governments and employer associations consult with LiUNA on occupational health and safety laws and regulations. Our influence is seen in every industry where our members work.
In LiUNA workplaces, well-trained union health and safety representatives protect you and your co-workers. We have zero tolerance for working conditions that are potentially hazardous to our members.
Our goal is simple: We want you to return to your family after work each day as healthy as you left them.
