Our Mission

Southern California District Council of Laborers, is a chartered district council of
the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA). The District Council has 12 affiliated locals representing 36,500 Union Laborers.
‍
Under the leadership of Business Manager, Jon P. Preciado, the objectives of the District Council are to unite the local unions within its territorial jurisdiction to advance the economic, political and other interests of our membership.

The Distrct Council lives by the motto, “organize or die” and works tirelessly to increase its membership, signatory contractor ranks, and market share, which in turn increases the economic terms of its Collective Bargaining Agreements.

LIUNA members are on the forefront of the construction industry. A ­sector that is a powerhouse of 12 million workers producing 5 percent of our countries economic output.  LIUNA is also one of the most diverse and effective unions representing public service employees.  Over a half-million strong, LIUNA members are united through collective bargaining agreements which help us earn family-supporting pay, good benefits and the opportunity for advancement and better lives.
