The document lists major pipeline owners in the United States and their pipeline assets. It then discusses the four largest unions involved in pipeline construction - Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA), International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE), United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry (UA), and International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) - and their roles and training programs. Finally, it outlines the unions' plans to partner with pipeline companies on qualification regulations, address projected industry growth, and market their resources and training programs.

11. LIUNA
The Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) was originally chartered in 1903
as the International Hodcarriers’ and Building Laborers’ Union of North America with approximately
8,000 members. By the late 1920’s a boom in construction caused the membership rolls to
approach 100,000. During the Depression, construction slowed, resulting in a decline in union
membership. However, by 1942, LIUNA rallied in support of WWII and its membership rose to
nearly 430,000. Currently, LIUNA represents over 800,000 diverse members. Through its
growing strength in the political arena, LIUNA members now have a strong voice in the halls of
Congress. The Union promotes legislation in Congress which ensures the safety and health of all
workers. With over 400,000 highly trained and motivated construction members, LIUNA is well
equipped to meet the challenges of the pipeline industry.
