IMPORTANT QUOTES

"Giving kids clothes and food is one thing, but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people."

Dolores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farmworkers Union

BUILDING & TRADES

"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.
