We are excited to welcome University of Southern Maine senior Maya Sjoquist as our new student intern here at the Maine AFL-CIO.

Our thoughts are with the family of Brother Charles John Finn Sr., who passed away peacefully last month at the age of 83. Charlie grew up in Lewiston and worked at Bath Iron Works for 40 years, primarily as an electrician.

The Maine Labor Climate Council and a handful of building trades unions in Maine have been developing a campaign to secure more union work opportunities with funding from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

We send our heartfelt condolences to the family of former United Paperworkers International Union (UPIU) Local 14 member Cindy Bennett, who recently passed away. Bennett took part in the 1987-88 International Paper Strike in Jay and was a proud, feisty union woman.
