Washington, D.C. – May 19, 2025 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey issued the following statement:

“As currently written, the House Republicans’ reconciliation bill cannot be supported by the men and women of North America’s Building Trades Unions. It eliminates hundreds of thousands of energy jobs for our members and includes other deeply troubling provisions.

“One of our top priorities in this process has been protecting meaningful job opportunities, but that priority is being completely undermined. Job cuts for blue-collar Americans should not foot the bill for billionaire tax cuts. We’re counting on our allies in Congress to fix this bill before it heads to the House floor — and we’ll be mobilizing to ensure our voices are heard.”
