Laborers' Local 81 was chartered January 2, 1918, by International Hod Carriers' Building and Common Laborers' Union of America presently known as LiUNA! or Laborers International Union of North America. Construction Craft Laborers from Laborers' Local 81 perform work on heavy highway, utilities, commercial building construction, residential building construction, tunnel construction, industrial maintenance, and industrial new construction. We place concrete for our highways, airports, and building construction. We install new and repair sewer, water, and natural gas lines throughout East Lake County, Porter County, LaPorte County, and Starke County. Our members work at steel mills, power plants, and most industrial sites in our area performing all types of maintenance including railroad track repairs, furnace repairs, and underground utility repairs. We have been an important part of the development of our local communities and industrial sites for over 100 years and we will continue to be in the future.
