Laborers' Rejoin Building Trades After Two-Year Absence
The laborers' union has rejoined the AFL-CIO's Building and Construction Trades Dept., after being away from the group for more than two years, say the BCTD and the union.
The BCTD says that its governing board unanimously voted to approve the re-affiliation of the union, whose full name is the Laborers' International Union of North America. LIUNA left the BCTD in February 2006. The union also left the AFL-CIO in 2006 and remains unaffiliated with it.
