WE ARE LiUNA
Since 1903, LiUNA has built what matters in the Mid-Atlantic.
The LiUNA Mid-Atlantic Region unites more than 40,000 Laborers across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. We back our members with apprenticeship-grade training, strong wages, real benefits, and the collective power to protect your rights and safety on every site. Contractors get union-ready crews and a partner in delivery, supported by LECET and project labor agreements that keep jobs on time and on budget.
This is how we build careers and strengthen neighborhoods.
