Washington, D.C. (September 11, 2022) – Terry O’Sullivan, General President of LIUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – made the following statement today:

On the 21st year since the cowardly attack on our nation, the strong, proud, and united members of LIUNA have not forgotten those who were lost and the heroes who worked to protect us during and after the attacks. We will always hold in our hearts the memory of the nearly 3,000 who were killed and honor all of the heroes, many of them LIUNA members, who risked their own safety to save lives and to help our country recover and rebuild.

Let us remember that the most profound salute to those who were lost and to future generations is to remain united in solidarity and committed to the ideals of liberty and democracy.

On behalf of myself, General Secretary-Treasurer Armand E. Sabitoni, and the entire LIUNA General Executive Board, we remember those lost on September 11 and share our sincere gratitude with those who responded with such courage and strength to the terrible attacks.
