🥵Heat Safety Alert! With temperatures set to break 93°F today, and little time to acclimatize to the heat, it's more important than ever to Work SAFE today:
• Wear sunscreen: sunburn can inhibit the body's natural cooling mechanism;
• Stay : drink 8 oz of water every 15 min while working. And keep drinking water after work to keep hydrating;
• Avoid caffeine, soda & alcohol: they can speed dehydration and contribute to heat cramps;
• Use personal cooling items: when possible, utilize cold packs/compresses and cooling headbands;
• Find shade: If you're on lunch or on break, find shade whenever possible; and
• Use the buddy system: keep an eye on your brothers & sisters. If they begin to exhibit signs of heat illness (extreme headaches; excessive sweating; nausea or vomiting), be sure to take immediate action to cool them and alert a supervisor.

✊ Wednesday Motivation — What can Labor do for itself?
"The answer is not difficult. Labor can organize, it can unify; it can consolidate its forces. This done, it can demand and command." — Eugene V. Debs, Activist & Trade Unionist.

🎥 Put LIUNA Vice President and LiUNA Eastern Region Manager Mike Hellstrom in a room of City of Jersey City developers & he's going to drop some truth:
"LIUNA is a development Union and we are uniquely positioned to be a partner in every aspect of development.
"And when you partner with LIUNA, what you get is a skilled, trained, safe, effective, productive workforce that wants to come in and build projects on time, under budget, and built right the first time.
"We pride ourselves in that, because being a Construction Laborer for us is not a job, it's a career.
"But we're really working towards partnership. And if you think about the development community, there is not much that separates us, other than fair wages."

🎥 This Mental Health Awareness Month, listen to someone who's lived it, like LIUNA Mason Tenders' Training Fund Instructor Jamal Fowler, who knows:
"My Union was pivotal, was instrumental in my recovery. I had the resources. I had the people.
"When you're able to speak honestly and candidly about your addiction, when you when you're able to speak with confidence and tell people about your shortcomings, people recognize that. And people understand that. And that resonates with people.
"We're pushing out the narrative that it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to have the conversation.
"A lot of times you subscribe to the school of thought like, it's not cool to speak about that. And you can kind of like correlate that with the construction workers. You know, that macho, 'I'm tough. I'm strong. I have the fortitude.'
"But nah. You need that support system to show them and say, ‘Hey, listen brother, sister. I went down that road. I understand what it is to suffer. You don't got to suffer alone. You go head, we could speak. Let's try to figure this out together.’
"And we're trying to change the narrative where it's not weak to speak. Right? It's important that we do that."
