Political leaders allocate funding for heavy highway construction

Political leaders at the state and federal levels allocate funding for heavy highway construction. That’s why we recognize political activism as being critical to the strength and continuing success of Local 860 and the labor movement in general.

Good jobs, good pay, fair working conditions and secure futures for the working people of northeast Ohio all hinge on the commitment, leadership and political instincts of Local 860.

We’re meeting the challenge of accomplishment through lobbying. One example is the diligence with which we work in Columbus and Washington D.C. to shore up prevailing wage laws in Ohio, and Davis-Bacon wage regulations on the federal level.
