WASHINGTON, DC – January 28, 2025 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey released the following statement urging the United States Senate to confirm former Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy as President Donald Trump’s U.S. Secretary of the Department of Transportation:

“During his time in Congress, Sean Duffy consistently supported federal funding for transportation infrastructure projects that not only created jobs for America’s construction workers but also ensured they were paid middle-class, family-sustaining wages. Given this track record, we are hopeful that he will prioritize and stand with working families as he leads the Department of Transportation.

“We look forward to a productive working partnership to advance policies that benefit America’s construction workforce and ensure the continued modernization of our nation’s infrastructure, and we urge the Senate to confirm him as the next Secretary of the Department of Transportation.”
