Discovering the next generation of life-saving medicines starts with state-of-the-art facilities built by members of North America's Building Trades Unions.pilma.orgJoined July 2016
The U.S. life sciences sector doesn’t just develop new treatments—it trains the next generation. Thanks to sustained investment, union apprenticeships received $19.5M+ in support since 2019.
#Apprenticeship#UnionStrong#Biopharmaunionjobs.pilma.org
Thanks to UA for hosting Industry Day on August 13, tradesmen and employers came together to show how apprenticeship and training are shaping the workforce of tomorrow. #UnionStrong#PILMA
Eli Lilly’s $27B investment in 4 new U.S. manufacturing plants means 3,000 skilled jobs and 10,000 construction jobs. This is the manufacturing growth PILMA champions to build strong communities and good jobs. #MadeInUSA#PILMAow.ly/mH2L50WASF1
Union construction careers in biopharma not only offer a reliable paycheck, they offer purpose. These jobs help deliver lifesaving cures to patients while providing health insurance, pensions, and pathways to the middle class.
#UnionProud#LifeSciences
Whether it’s a new cancer treatment or a cutting-edge vaccine facility, behind every biopharma breakthrough is a union crew making it possible. Carpenters, electricians, pipefitters, and ironworkers built the backbone of American innovation together.
As July wraps up, the U.S. biopharma industry continues to drive growth, investing billions in facilities and supporting thousands of union jobs. Keeping these investments strong means good careers and breakthroughs for all. #UnionStrong#Biopharma#Jobs
Skilled union workers have logged over 65 million labor hours and earned $2.6 billion building America’s life sciences infrastructure. These numbers represent careers, livelihoods, and futures supported by PILMA’s partnerships.
The life sciences sector’s construction investments have jumped 70% in five years, a sign of growing strength. But some policies threaten to stall progress and put union jobs at risk. PILMA advocates for smart policies that protect workers and growth.

Every new life sciences facility relies on the craftsmanship of union workers. Their expertise makes innovation possible. PILMA is proud to back the tradespeople who build the foundation of tomorrow’s medicines. Check out an example! youtube.com/watch?v=7PcxoW…

The Most Favored Nation (MFN) policy threatens to undercut investment in America’s biopharma industry by imposing price controls that could slow innovation and cost union jobs. Protecting this sector means supporting policies that drive growth and secure middle-class careers #MFN

.@CMSGov announcement to institute price controls on medicines will negatively impact future medical innovation and jobs. Any policies to lower the cost of medicines must reform the entire supply chain, including the unfair practices by PBMs and insurers tinyurl.com/66swdkmb
Happy World Intellectual Property Day! Today, we celebrate the creativity and innovation of women scientists and union workers who make life-saving cures and medicines all possible. #UnionStrong#PILMA#WorldIPDay, #IPMatters#WomeninIP
Happy World Intellectual Property Day! Let's use this opportunity to recognize the impact of women in the sciences and trades and advocate for policies that create a more inclusive IP system. #WorldIPDay
We can achieve affordability and accessibility without sacrificing innovation and American jobs. Calls for Congress to pass PBM reform are correct. PBM transparency will hold middlemen accountable and ensure that patients receive savings at the pharmacy counter. #PBMs
Expanding the IRA without reigning in cost drivers like PBMs misses the mark. America’s best innovators and skilled workers work to help keep patients healthy while PBMs are making record profits. Let’s focus on policies that prioritize American innovators and workers. #IRA
