#20 400,000 Members Strong – With Brian Fisher

The United Association has reached a historic milestone: more than 400,000 members strong. In this special episode, General President Mark McManus is joined by UA Director of Organizing and Recruitment Brian Fisher to reflect on the growth that made it possible and the opportunities it creates for members across North America.   They discuss the organizing strategies, training investments, contractor partnerships, and local union leadership that helped the UA grow by more than 60,000 members in just five years. The conversation also explores why growth matters—not just for membership numbers, but for market share, job opportunities, retirement security, and the long-term strength of the United Association.   This is a celebration of what the UA has accomplished together—and a look ahead at the work still to come as the fight for 500,000 members begins.
