About Us

LIUNA Local 3000 is a large membership-driven nationally chartered local of the Labourers’ International Union of North America. We represent over 12,000 members in the healthcare, industrial and professional sectors across Canada. At over 150 workplaces across Canada, our union is standing strong and standing up for our members in the workplace, our rights as workers, and the rights of all Canadians and the people of all other nations.

The strength of LIUNA Local 3000 is built on solidarity and respect among workers. LIUNA Local 3000 is committed to the goals of worker democracy, social justice, equality and peace. We are dedicated to making the lives of workers and their families safe, secure and healthy.

We believe that every worker is entitled, without discrimination, to a job with decent wages and working conditions, union representation, free collective bargaining, a safe and healthy workplace, and the right to strike.

We believe that we, as members of society, are entitled to basic human rights, political freedom, quality public services, good democratic government, a safe and sustainable environment, a just and equitable society, and a peaceful world.

We believe that diversity in our society must be protected, promoted and celebrated. We believe that every worker is an equal member of the human family, regardless of gender, gender identity, colour, creed, ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation or age. We stand for inclusiveness. We stand against abuses of human rights in our workplaces, our communities, our country and around the world.

As the voice of working people, our Union promotes their interests in the community and at national and international forums. We speak out forcefully for our members to employers, governments and the public to ensure the rights of workers are protected and expanded.

LIUNA Local 3000 provides inspiration, leadership and guidance to its Chartered Local Unions and Bargaining Units.

In all its work, LIUNA Local 3000 defends and promotes the principles of democracy and equality and holds true to the ideal of human rights for all.

We are comrades who, in solidarity, always pursue social, economic and political justice
– the goals on which the labour movement was founded.
