Same job. Same skill. Same paycheck. Brother OR Sister. That's what the 1963 Equal Pay Act is supposed to guarantee, and what we're still fighting to make real on every jobsite.

Thank you to all members who helped on the pet supply drive. The donations will be delivered over the next few days to 5As and Riverbend Humane Society. Thanks to Hardin Package Liquor, Schwegels grocery, Sinclair grocery, and Bethalto Ace Hardware for partnering with us and helping to support our communities.

Regular, hard-working folks shouldn't be driven into financial ruin just because they get sick or need a prescription filled. This heavy burden is exactly what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is exposing, and it hits home for anyone watching their medical bills skyrocket while corporate profits soar. What’s it gonna take for the folks in power to finally put human lives ahead of insurance company bottom lines?

Thank you Laborers’ Local 218 and 338 volunteer organizing committees for once again placing flags at Upper Alton Cemetery in honor of those who served and sacrificed for our country.

This Memorial Day, we remember the fallen and the freedoms their sacrifice secured.
