2018 Day on the Hill

On Tuesday, April 10, please join fellow LIUNA members & retirees & our brothers & sisters in the Minnesota Building & Construction Trades at our 2018 LIUNA Minnesota Day on the Hill!

Learn more about our legislative priorities, visit with your elected officials & rally on the State Capitol steps! Together, we can make our voices heard & make a difference on issues that matter to us - such as creating family-supporting jobs, protecting the prevailing wage, investing in infrastructure, & stopping so-called "Right to Work".

Breakfast & lunch will be provided. Free parking in the SW corner of the Sears parking lot, at the corner of Marion Street & Saint Anthony Avenue (Look for LIUNA staff). Or pay to park at meters.
