Who Are The Laborers’ Local 42?

Local 42 was chartered on the 7th day of January 1933. At that time LIUNA was called International Hod Carriers’ Building and Common Laborers’ Union. Local 42 was a result of the merger of three Locals: Local 22, which was chartered in August 1, 1906, Local 162 which was chartered May 31, 1913 and Local 284 which was chartered April 7, 1914.In August of 2010 Local 1032, Police & Public Employee Union merged with Local 42. This created the Laborers’ Local 42 Law Enforcement Division an. Local 53 merged with Local 42 in March of 2015. We continue to strive for stronger and unified labor movement.

LIUNA Local 42 has a proud history of providing the finest representation to the membership. We are united through collective bargaining agreements and strive for better wages and benefits and safer job sites. LIUNA 42 members are on the forefront of the construction industry by being a hardworking, skilled and reliable workforce. LIUNA Local 42’s membership is actively involved in member initiatives, community politics as well as volunteering for local charitable causes.
