This is your WSIU Union Almanac for Thursday March 2 brought to you by Liuna, the Laborers International Union of North America, the Laborers local 773 and by Ullico Insurance and Investments.

This week in labor history, The Davis-Bacon Act took effect in 1931. It orders contractors on federally financed or assisted construction projects to pay wage rates equal to those prevailing in local construction trades.

#LIUNA #apprenticeship is a smart career move. Their state-of-the-art training gives members a solid hiring advantage over the competition. The benefits are real & so is this once-in-a-generation employment opportunity in #construction. Start here: https://bit.ly/3qBucUS Visit local773.com Applications for apprenticeships are accepted online the first Tuesday of each month.
