This monthly award recognizes four tradeswomen across the U.S. and Canada that lead by example and perform their duties at an outstanding level.

More than 1300 registrants gathered online and at watch parties across North America to inspire, empower and share experiences of U.S. and Canadian tradeswomen.

The Tennessee Valley Authority and North America’s Building Trades Unions announced Thursday a historic 10-year extension of their Project Labor Agreements to keep low-cost, reliable energy flowing to more than 10 million residents of the Tennessee Valley.

This is a breathtaking failure of leadership by the self-proclaimed ‘deal maker’ and a revealing display of priorities for him and his Republican allies.

On this solemn anniversary, we remember and uphold the amazing legacy of the heroic building trades members and first responders who risked their lives with goodwill to save others.

North America’s strength, prosperity, freedom, and progress relies on a labor market filled with justice and dignity for all. With hope for the future and for more healing across the world, I wish workers across North America a well-earned Labor Day.

First of its Kind Partnership will Support Union Jobs, Strengthen Retirements, & Help Economic Recovery

Shutting down these two emissions-free nuclear plants will have a devastating impact on the lives of thousands of working men and women in Illinois.

For over a century, NABTU has hosted this quinquennial Convention to amend the constitution, elect leadership and plan for the next five years.

NABTU research affirms the great opportunities in union energy construction and shows that oil and natural gas construction jobs provide workers with better pay, health and pension benefits than other industries

“We need to improve state and federal regulatory certainty so that safe, environmental and economical pipeline infrastructure projects can put thousands of Americans to work and boost ladders to the middle class with good, family-supporting jobs and apprenticeships.”

“After years of planning, procurement, preparation, and following every federal, state, local law and regulation, the Atlantic Coast pipeline cancellation is beyond disappointing.”

“Like too many shovel-ready projects before it, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline faced legal and permitting challenges waged without merit by activists, and these challenges ultimately cost Americans along its route the environmental, employment, and economic benefits that modern pipeline projects bring.”

“For years, NABTU, its affiliated unions and its members have urged both Congress and the Administration to pass a broad-scoped, robustly funded infrastructure package with strong labor standards to ensure that as we rebuild American infrastructure, we rebuild American communities by providing job and training opportunities to workers and their families. The Moving Forward Act meets these goals aggressively.”

“We are pleased that the Administration is moving to curtail the expansion of business models that rely on importing low-wage foreign labor that undercuts the wages and working conditions of American workers.”

“The INVEST in America Act will provide the level of funding needed to lay the foundation for long term economic recovery as we emerge from this COVID-19 economy, and the Chairman’s commitment to ensuring strong prevailing wage labor standards throughout the bill must be commended.”

“Today’s ruling affirms what we know – that any form of discrimination is unacceptable. We don’t tolerate it on our jobsites, and we don’t tolerate it in our communities. This landmark decision is another step forward towards equality and dignity for all.”

“Sean is a respected senior construction executive with the strong leadership experience and understanding of the Building Trades needed to carry on the important work we do and to effectively represent Canada’s skilled trades workers at the national level.”

“We’re pleased Iowa voters sent a clear and strong message that racism and right-to-work for less are bad for workers and families and that warped and outrageous views like his will no longer be tolerated. As this vote and the nationwide protests over the past week show us, Americans want justice for marginalized communities and will not be silenced.”

“It is our hope that Americans of goodwill will now rise and shine as beacons of love and light in this moment of darkness and despair. The men and women of North America’s Building Trades Unions will do whatever it takes to help provide a model of decency, understanding and respect for our fellow citizens.”
