Washington, D.C. – March 13, 2023 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) issued the following statement from President Sean McGarvey:

 

“North America’s Building Trades Unions have been a strong supporter of the Willow project since its inception. Our three million members across North America recognize the benefits of energy independence and know first-hand the positive effects projects like Willow bring to the communities that build them.  We applaud the Biden Administration for their approval of the project and their decision to support the over 1,600 middle-class supporting, union jobs this project will create.

 

“The Willow project has been through years of committed work, five public comment periods, 25 public meetings and hundreds of days for public comment to ensure its construction is completed safely and in an environmentally sound fashion. Our members thank the President for his continued support and steadfast commitment to growing America’s middle class and ensuring the energy security of our nation.”
