"There's no evil that's' inflicted more pain and more suffering than racism - and it's something that we in the Labor Movement have a special responsibility to challenge.  It's our special responsibility because we know, better than anyone else, how racism is used to divide working people.  We've seen how companies set worker against worker - how they throw whites a few extra crumbs off the table - and how it's black and Latino workers who get the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs.  But we've seen that when we cross that color line and stand together no one can keep us down."

"A" construction members are now required to participate in Building & Trades at a fee of $42 per year for North Dakota residents and $26.80 for Minnesota residents.

The North America’s Building Trades Union, exists to provide support for unionized workers in the construction industry of North America. Our goal at B&T is to promote growth and development of construction trade unions to ensure a safe, fulfilling, working environment for tradesmen and women in North America. A strong sense of support for and between unions and union workers allows trade unions to have a real, strong, presence in their community and government at both a local and national level. By working together with other local unions in North Dakota and Minnesota, tradesmen and women benefit in terms of safety, economics, and, representation.
