I'm a victim of being ran over by a semi-while flagging.

The person wasn't paying attention, and they hit me with their vehicle.

I've seen a accident where we were the first people to walk up, and that mystery will never leave my mind.

I've seen the people get hit before.

It's been horrible.

Construction zones on roadways and bridges are more than just cones and equipment.

They're the workplace for thousands of dedicated union laborers.

Everybody has a family that they need to get back home to,

so please just pay attention to us out here while we're working.

We all have family, and I know it's a pain in the ass,

but we're trying to make the roads better for y'all.

We're doing this for everyone.

We're hardworking Hoosiers, just like you,

and we all want to make it home safely. People would just take a couple seconds to pay attention. Be aware where we're at, where the cone zones are at. We're all in this together, and we're all just trying to be safe. This is Brian Short, business manager for the Indiana Labor's District Council. Everyone deserves a safe place to work. Do your part in the cone zone. Slow down, save a life.

We're all in this together.

A message from Labor's International Union of North America and affiliated locals.

They are ridiculous.

I spent about $250 on gas born and coming to work a week.

I live here in Indy. I work in playing field about 20 minutes away.

I've been stressed out all day long. I'd be terrible. I don't even want to eat dinner or lunch.

So, yeah.

Man, just got to go to the flow. You know, just hope and pray that it goes down.
