In recent years, public employees have been under an unprecedented attack from anti-labor activists seeking to divide the labor movement. Local 3’s Public Employee members are uniquely positioned to push back against these attacks, thanks to the diversity of essential work they perform for their communities and the resources and support available to them, as part of the largest construction local in the U.S.
