We support individuals that support our members, their careers and their union rights. @RepFinstad checks all of those boxes.
@BradFinstad backs prevailing wage requirements, family-supporting benefits, and strong safety standards because UA jobs let workers earn a fair living and get home safely. That’s why the UA is backing him for Congress. #MN01
The United Association has always supported candidates that support our careers and way of life. This election is no different.
Get in the game at UAGetInvolved.org. Track our issues, check out the candidates we’re backing, and make a plan to vote. UA jobs, fair wages, and secure pensions are all on the line.

Minnesota pipefitters show up for homeowners in need — repairing their furnaces at no cost through Project HEAT’s ON. We all know how important it is to have a safe, working furnace during a Minnesota winter. Thanks to the pipefitters for their work and service to our state.

“You lead because that’s what the UA does. It leads the way.”
At the 41st Convention, International Representative Greg Mitchell honored our retiring General Officers and reminded us that every UA member is a leader. Together, we carry our legacy forward.
Paul Cumings has a proven track record in supporting our members and the issues that matter to them. For years Paul has worked tirelessly to be a voice for our members at the capitol. We are truly honored to support Paul in becoming the next Senator in district 53.
I am proud to announce my endorsement from the MN Pipe Trades Association (@MNPipeTrades). The members of the Pipe Trades work hard every day to ensure that safe, high quality projects are delivered on time and on budget. I am honored by their endorsement. We are Better Together!
Another week. Another attack on opportunities for our members by the governor’s office. To say this is disappointing is an understatement. Especially when you consider the fact that Governor Walz committed to us that he would never take actions such as this.
The DNR’s cancellation of a Twin Metals mineral lease is a blow to the Iron Range. Minnesotans deserve access to good-paying jobs close to home and a fair, consistent, science-based process that encourages investment and job creation. Full statement: jobsforminnesotans.org/bulle…
Honest leadership surrounding the conversation about data center development is what we need. Thank you @EricPrattMN for addressing the misinformation being actively spread about the industry. Minnesota passed nation leading legislation in 2025 with safe guards. Plain and simple.
Matt Little served in the Minnesota Senate. He knows there’s more to a legislative record than what fits into a campaign attack.
I wasn’t in office when Minnesota created the original data center tax exemption. In 2013, when the DFL-controlled Legislature expanded it, I VOTED NO.
Yes, HF 16 extended an existing exemption. It also added multimillion-dollar annual fees, water safeguards and protections against shifting utility costs onto other customers and families.
Families shouldn’t have to fact-check every campaign attack. Doing the homework is my job. Giving you the facts and telling you the whole truth is my responsibility.
I stand behind my vote.
The Minnesota Pipe Trades is honored to endorse Eric Pratt for congress. Eric has a proven track record in supporting our members and doesn’t play political games with their livelihoods.
I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota Pipe Trades Association.
Their members are plumbers, pipefitters, sprinklerfitters, HVAC and service technicians. These skilled men and women build, maintain and protect the infrastructure our communities depend on every day.
Here in the 2nd District, the trades provide good careers, support families and help keep our communities growing. We need to keep creating opportunities for people to build a successful life through skilled work, apprenticeships and careers in the trades.
I’m proud to have these hardworking men and women standing with me, and I’ll work just as hard to make sure they have a strong voice in Washington. #MN02
The Minnesota Pipe Trades is proud to support those who support our members. Thank you Congressman Finstad for your continued dedication and leadership for the UA members in your district.
I am grateful for the endorsement of the Minnesota Pipe Trades Association. These are the people who work hard everyday to build the future of southern Minnesota. I am proud to represent them in Congress! #mn01

In September, we recognize Suicide Prevention Month. The construction industry faces a crisis, with a suicide rate 4x higher than the general population. Let's band together for change.

Presenting your 2026 UA Convention Delegates:
Steamfitter, welder, Local 589 Business Manager, and Iron Range Building Trades President, Brother Jason Quiggin is attending his sixth UA General Convention. #UASolidarity2026
Governor Walz using an executive order in this fashion is a shining example of weak leadership. Caving to special interest environmental activists isn’t the right thing to do. It’s the easy thing to do.

This Tuesday on Pipe Up! 🎙️ GP Mark McManus sits down with Chris Madello to talk data centers, the misinformation surrounding them, and why these projects mean major work opportunities for skilled UA members across the country.
MN Pipe Trades retweeted
Data centers are driving the next wave of infrastructure—and Colorado is ready to build. With strong labor standards, that means real jobs, real training, and real opportunities for UA members.
We can’t have honest meaningful energy conversations in Minnesota without looking at every option. Minnesota remains the only state with a full nuclear moratorium. Thats not leading. Thats getting left behind.
