Empowering Veterans & Strengthening Our Communities Through Union Labor

🎙️ On this episode of the ULA Network, Mike Fina sits down with Marty Glennon, Partner at Archer, Byington, Glennon & Levine LLP, a longtime advocate for labor unions, public sector workers, and the skilled trades.

Marty’s journey from a third-generation IBEW Local 3 electrician to becoming a leading labor attorney is a true testament to the power of union-supported education and career development.

💪 A Commitment to Veterans:One of the most inspiring parts of our discussion was the Vets 4 Vets Community Construction Project, an initiative to  collaborate with ALL building and construction trades to support veterans in need. Union tradespeople are stepping up to provide accessible housing, home renovations, and critical infrastructure improvements for veterans. These projects are often completed through donated labor and materials, showing the power of solidarity in action.

‍

👷♂️ Labor is More Than Just Work—It’s Community:Marty emphasized that union members are not just skilled workers—they are family members, veterans, and community leaders dedicated to giving back. Across ALL trades, union veterans' clubs are coming together to create a nationwide network of support for those who served our country. When a veteran needs assistance, the combined strength of union labor can answer the call, whether it’s building a wheelchair ramp, upgrading housing, or making a home more accessible.📢 Let’s Get to Work:The ULA Network Charitable Foundation is committed to expanding these efforts by bringing together the trades, securing resources, and using social media to amplify awareness. Together, we can ensure that our veterans receive the support, dignity, and opportunities they deserve.
