Dennis Martire’s Union Leadership Has Been Impressive

In March 2000, Dennis Martire was appointed as Assistant Regional Manager of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LiUNA), but that was just the beginning . Just two years later, Dennis was elected Vice President and Regional Manager. Over more than three decades, Dennis has emerged as a leader on a large number of successful LiUNA initiatives. For example, he played an instrumental role in the process that gave workers on Fluor-Lane’s expansion of Route 495 Hot Lanes Project a choice on whether to join a union. That turned out to be a critical initiative, given that the workers voted overwhelmingly to be members of LiUNA Local 11. It is still considered among the most impressive union victories in the construction industry in many years, especially in the state of Virginia.

Dennis Martire is also very closely linked to the Laborers’ Health and Safety Fund of North America (LHSFNA), he serves as a Trustee for the Mid-Atlantic Laborers’ Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (MALECET), and he is also Chairman of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Organizing Coalition (MAROC). Dennis also serves as the Chairman of the Performance Management Committee, as well as a Committee Member for the Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board, Board Member (PA WIB), among many others

In addition to managing LiUNA’s Mid-Atlantic Region, Dennis Martire also serves on a wide range of boards and committees, including the American High-Speed Rail Alliance Advisory Board, the Blue-Ribbon Commission on Maryland Transportation Funding, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), and the Dulles Area Transportation Authority. Dennis currently lives in Northern Virginia with his family. Years ago, in 1986, Dennis Martire worked hard and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Government in 1986 from West Virginia Wesleyan College. Above all, however, he still considers himself a proud member of LiUNA Local #1058 out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
