Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The picture of what a construction worker looks like in the 21st century is much different than it was just a few decades ago. The phrase "stale, male and pale" may come to mind for some, but today America's Building Trades Unions are working hard to change that perception, and if what's happening in Baltimore, Maryland, is any sign, they are backing up rhetoric with action.

America's Building Trades Unions diversity efforts are showing people that a career in the trades is available to motivated and passionate individuals regardless of gender, race or ethnicity.

This "Industry Today" webcast tells the story of today's union construction professional by highlighting leading members of the Baltimore skilled trades as they explain how a career in the trades has impacted and, in some cases, saved their lives.

Baltimore is just one city in a nationwide network of places full of skilled, safe, trained and productive men and women of all races and ethnicities who call themselves union construction professionals. That's "Value on Display. Every Day."
