The construction industry is known for its physical demands, but at Laborers’ Local 663, we know that true strength starts from within. Whether you are working high above the streets of Kansas City or paving the highways connecting our rural communities, the pressure of the job and the challenges of daily life can take a toll. We believe that protecting your mind is just as important as protecting your body. For those seeking construction jobs in Kansas City, joining our union means gaining access to a comprehensive support system designed to keep you healthy, balanced, and resilient.
More Than a Paycheck: Holistic Labor Union Benefits
One of the most significant labor union benefits we offer is a robust Health and Welfare Fund that prioritizes mental wellness. In an industry where “toughing it out” was once the norm, LU 663 is leading the change by providing confidential, professional resources for our members and their families.
Our benefits package includes:
- Employee Assistance Programs (EAP): Immediate, confidential access to counselors who understand the unique stresses of the construction trades.
- Substance Abuse Support: Proactive resources and treatment options for members struggling with addiction, ensuring a safe path back to the job site.
- Mental Health Coverage: Comprehensive insurance that includes therapy, psychiatric care, and stress management resources.
Why Mental Wellness Matters for Contractors and Crews
For contractors in KC, a crew that is mentally sharp is a crew that is safe. Stress, fatigue, and burnout are leading contributors to workplace accidents. By supporting the mental health of our members, Local 663 ensures that:
- Job Site Safety is Improved: Members who are focused and mentally present make fewer errors.
- Productivity Remains High: Proactive mental health care reduces absenteeism and keeps projects on schedule.
- Long-Term Retention: Workers stay in the industry longer when they feel supported both physically and emotionally.
Breaking the Stigma in the Trades
Through the LiUNA apprenticeship program, we teach our new recruits that asking for help is a sign of professionalism, not weakness. Our training doesn’t just cover concrete and steel; it covers communication and peer support. We are building a culture in Kansas City where brothers and sisters look out for one another, ensuring that no one has to carry their burdens alone.
