In the trades, it’s not about where you come from — it’s about what you bring to the job. That’s why more women are picking up the tools and building family-sustaining careers.

94 years ago yesterday, The Davis-Bacon Act was signed into law! For nearly a century, Davis-Bacon has established that federally funded construction and public works projects pay prevailing wages that match standard local wage rates, uplifting millions of construction workers.

Happy Monday to everyone… EXCEPT contractors who “can’t find skilled workers” but refuse to hire #union. Weird how that works. #MondayMotivation #MondayMood #1U

Prevailing wage laws ensure that workers on public projects are paid fair wages. But some contractors are using a loophole to pay workers less when they work off-site building custom prefab. SB 1370 would close it. “Any time taxpayer money is used, it should be used responsibly”

In 1920, IUPAT Local 1332 was founded by Black craftsmen in Chicago to confront discriminatory practices & challenges facing Black workers in our trades. Local 1332 elected the first Black leadership in our union's history and still proudly exists today.

Wage theft is real, and I want to end it on state projects. If a contractor is getting taxpayer money for a project is short-changing CT workers, I’ll stop state funds until the contractor follows the law and pays the men and women on that job site the fair wage they deserve.
