September is Suicide Prevention Month. A 2022 study found that suicide deaths in the construction industry outnumber on-the-job fatalities by 6 to 1. Protecting your mental health is just as important as any piece of PPE you wear. Know the signs.

We hope everyone has a great weekend, except for the people who are anti-union. We hope your weekend, which was brought to you by unions, is subpar.

Actions like these aren't just bad for the environment; they are actively taking away jobs from hard-working Montanans. Many projects we had planned for next year are now in jeopardy because of uninformed decisions like these.

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel.
Now she's a member of HTC.
Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

We would not advise watching this if there are any brick walls around you because there's a very good chance you will want to run through it. That's the power of our GP.

We need union members across the state to show up for these town halls for the Sentinel project on the Malstrom Air Force Base. Minuteman III was built by unions 50 years ago, there is no reason Sentinel shouldn't be union-built as well!

Look, we don't care whether you're a part of Chiefs Kingdom or if you sing, "Fly, Eagles Fly!"

So, here's a list of food and snacks that make sure you do that.

Unions don't just apply to the jobsite. Unions are at the negotiating table, making sure members get a fair wage, good benefits and have safety regulations. Unions are in the home, making sure food is on the table and bills can be paid. Unions are about protecting our members in every aspect of life

The Democrats blew it with non-union workers in the 2024 election. Unions have a plan to get the party on message.
