Governor McKee has had our backs. Come September 9th, the Rhode Island Building Trades has his back.
He has been a champion of strong labor standards & investments that have created thousands jobs.
Come join your fellow brothers & sisters on Thurs 7/31 to Rally for Dan McKee!
Thank you @DNC Chair @kenmartin73 for addressing the @ri_trades. We appreciated the straight talk on how Democrats need to stick to the kitchen table issues our members care about. When we elect trades men and women to office, Dems win!
Today's stop work order is another bullshit move by this administration. Halting this work jeopardizes the job security, not national security, of the men & women who are currently constructing the offshore wind turbines. This is especially cruel during the holidays.
The Trump administration said it is pausing leases for five large-scale offshore wind projects under construction in the East Coast due to unspecified national security risks identified by the Pentagon. trib.al/vV0QhTl
Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire Brown community. We are proud of our partnership with Brown University and stand arm in arm with our Brown family, the City of Providence, and the State of Rhode Island during this difficult time.
.@ri_trades President Michael F. Sabitoni's statement on the passing of Judge Frank Caprio, "His life’s works reflected the values so many of us hold dear: faith, family, community, and hard work."

Honored to join the Danoff Laboratories Topping Off at @BrownUniversity. Grateful to President Christina Paxson for her partnership. Proud to recognize the skilled #LIUNA members whose hard work makes milestones like this possible. #LIUNABuilds
This morning President @GSTMFSabitoni, Sec Tres Scott Duhamel, RI AFL-CIO President Crowley and members of the @ri_trades attended the @IFlyRhodeIsland's board meeting to ensure their upcoming $64M renovation project is built responsibly and utilizing local union labor.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the @pbruinsfanclub's game over the weekend. The @ri_trades raised more than $6,000 to support @BBBSA of RI! Fantastic turnout for a great cause.

Great night with @LIUNANewEngland’s Chris Sabitoni recognizing @rifthp Frank Flynn with the Dante Mollo Labor award by the United Way. A well deserved honor for a great man.
Perfect day to celebrate the final beam being place atop the new Central Falls’ High School. The men and women of the @ri_trades are working tirelessly to ensure this is the high school the students of Central Falls deserve!
Today was a BIG DEAL! TY to @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse @RepGabeAmo @GovDanMcKee and @RISpeaker for your hard work in securing $250 MILLION to fix 15 bridges along I-95! Through @POTUS’s landmark BIFF, these projects will put thousands of men & women of the @ri_trades to work!
Congratulations to @99_ibew’s Joe Walsh on receiving @cleanwater_ri’s Climate Jobs Champion award. Your leadership is just another example of labor movement is dedicated to be good stewards of Rhode Island’s land, air, and sea! #unionstrong

#HappyEaster to all my union brothers and sisters! May this special day bring you joy, renewal, and blessings. Wishing you a wonderful time with loved ones and cherished moments of celebration.
Great to be with Federal & State leaders as we celebrate the “topping off” of the new Rhode Island Health Lab. The lab will be the cornerstone for PVD’s budding life sciences corridor. The @ri_trades are excited to be partners, and are ready to add to PVD’s skyline. #unionbuilt
Great work by @RIPAINTERSUNION for working to ensure workers and RIers are safe from poisonous lead exposure. We need to continue to hold scrupulous construction businesses accountable. #UnionStrong
