Traditional Fuels
The traditional fuel sources of our country have experienced dramatic changes and challenges in recent decades. To this day, they remain the largest provider of energy to states around the country, totaling more than 60%. Throughout these turbulent years, NABTU’s position in support of these industries has remained unchanged.1 As President McGarvey said, “Our unions support an all of the above energy strategy that supports and grows the middle class and those desperately trying to reach it.”2
The Oil and Gas industry remains a strong basis for unionized labor as NABTU’s members participate in work up and down the distribution line.
