For Pride Month this year, the AFL-CIO is spotlighting various LGBTQ+ workers who have worked and continue to work at the intersection of civil and labor rights in the United States. Today's profile is Dennis Delozier of the Laborers (LIUNA).
Dennis Delozier is a 35-year member of LIUNA Local 238. He spent his career working long hours doing industrial concrete, but he always made an effort to attend union meetings. Delozier retired in 2013 and has stayed active with Local 238, consistently volunteering for Laborers Rising events and political door knocking. He has done an excellent job as president of the retirees committee, bringing retirees’ concerns to the union’s attention.
