Washington, D.C. – September 2, 2024 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey issued the following statement in recognition of Labor Day:

“On Labor Day, we all honor the hard work and dedication of workers across the United States and Canada. We celebrate the over 3 million members of North America’s Building Trades Unions, whose steadfast labor is the backbone of our nations, driving our economies and sustaining our communities.”

“We are grateful to the Biden-Harris Administration and the Trudeau Administration for continuing to prioritize workers through historic investments in infrastructure, clean energy, and workforce development throughout North America. These policies are not just creating an enormous number of new jobs—they are creating an infrastructure generation and building a more viable and stronger future for working families.”

In honor of workers this holiday and every day, let’s continue working to build a brighter future for workers everywhere.”
