Dennis L. Martire's Ascension in the Laborers' Union Ranks

 

It was April 1990 when Dennis L. Martire began his professional career with the Laborers’ International Union of North America. Across the next decade-plus, he’d grow in his roles and responsibilities with the pivotal organization until becoming its vice president and mid-Atlantic regional manager.

Martire began with the Laborers’ Union as an international representative. He was also a member of his local union #1058 based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Soon after becoming part of LIUNA, Martire grew to become assistant director then director of the organization’s construction department. His immense successes in these positions -- such as striving to pass fair wage laws and instituting new regional labor unions -- allowed him to continue his upward momentum as assistant regional manager for the mid-Atlantic region. Within two years, he was elected into his current title of vice president and mid-Atlantic regional manager with LIUNA.
