New Jersey Laborers: Stronger by standing together
The New Jersey Laborers are the skilled workforce that makes our employers successful. Together, we create stable, rewarding careers and open doors to more opportunities for our families.
We’re part of a movement that believes in the dignity of work and that every worker deserves fair pay for their labor. The New Jersey Laborers are more than just talented hardworking people–we’re your friends, neighbors, and proud members of our communities.
The New Jersey Laborers are built on the principles of:

- Respect for Hard Work – The union recognizes and honors the contributions of laborers who build and maintain New Jersey’s infrastructure.
- Fair Wages and Benefits – LIUNA fights for higher wages, strong health benefits, retirement security, and job protections for our members and workers everywhere.
- Workplace Safety – Protecting workers from hazardous conditions is a top priority, with extensive training and advocacy for stronger safety regulations.
- Training and Apprenticeship – Through our training and apprenticeship funds, LIUNA delivers industry-leading safety and skills training to its members–all offered free of cost to members. LIUNA believes in the power of education–to build careers and build better, safer, on-time, and on budget.
- Political Advocacy and Organizing – LIUNA champions policies that benefit workers, such as strong labor laws, infrastructure investment, and the protection of workers’ rights. We believe that all work is valued and all workers deserve dignity and respect from their employers. Our goal is to help any workers in need of a union.
- Community Engagement – Our members are your neighbors. Just like you, we are active in our communities–both as a union and as individuals. LIUNA supports charitable efforts, volunteer initiatives, and public outreach that strengthens the communities where members live and work.
