Laborers' Local 942

05/22/2026

LIUNA Northwest Region thanks for the shoutout and recognition that the realities of working in harsh conditions and near-total darkness for the winter months takes its toll on everyone, our members more so than most as they work out in the elements on pipelines, in production yards, and all across the state.

Alaska winters bring weeks of near total darkness, and for construction workers, isolation and long hours can take a mental toll. That's why LIUNA Local 942 provides confidential mental health support, peer networks, and stress resources to help our sisters and brothers navigate the dark season.

LIUNA Northwest Region, great choice in pictures to represent the training that takes place at Alaska Laborers Training School! Teaching our members FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) Coating will be a vital component of any AK LNG main and transmission lines!!

Feature Friday!

Alaska Laborers’ Training Fund, an affiliate of The Northwest Region, is one of the few Union training programs where Apprentices can learn to work in extreme arctic conditions.

Because many projects are in isolated areas of Alaska, our Alaska Brothers and Sisters are trained not just to build but to handle harsh weather, remote environments, and unique ground conditions (permafrost) that most construction workers in the US never experience.

As we shake off a record cold 🥶 winter, things are heating up 🥵 at the Local!

An event conceived of, coordinated, and instructed by our very own Laborers Women's Caucus Local 942 occurred this past weekend, where a total of 29 women not associated with the trades were given the opportunity to experience our work and learn first-hand from many of our women leaders in Local 942.

“Women Leading the Build” was spearheaded and started last year by our very own Emaly MacLean, apprentice coordinator for AKLTS and former chair of the Laborers Women’s Caucus. Done in concert with Fairbanks Pipeline Training Center, this work highlights all the opportunities available for women as a construction craft laborer!

We look forward to seeing these ladies around the Hall and on our job sites in the very near future!
