Supporting local workers, creating good-paying jobs, and standing up for the future of our workforce.
The Livingston-McLean County Building Trades Council is committed to strengthening our communities by advocating for workers, supporting job growth, and promoting fair wages and safe working conditions. Through rallies, community events, and engagement with local leaders, we work to ensure that working men and women have a voice in the decisions that impact their livelihoods. We also support candidates and initiatives that prioritize strong infrastructure, workforce development, and opportunities for the next generation. Our mission goes beyond the job site—it’s about building a stronger, more sustainable future for everyone.

Advocacy includes engaging with local leaders, lawmakers, and organizations, participating in public campaigns and hearings, and collaborating with other unions and community groups to ensure that workers have access to meaningful, sustainable employment opportunities.
We actively participate in events that support workers, families, and local communities, including rallies, job fairs, community service projects, and educational events. These activities help raise awareness about workers’ rights and the importance of union labor.
