Washington, D.C. – June 17, 2022 – Today, North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey issued the following statement:

“In response to a report of a hateful act of intimidation on the Y-12 Uranium Processing Facility near Oakridge Tennessee, NABTU has authorized a $200,000 reward for the proper identification of the individual or individuals involved with the incident. As we promote a safe and harassment-free workplace, neither NABTU nor its affiliates will condone any act of violence or racist behavior on our job sites. We are working closely with the contractor, the Tennessee State and Knoxville Building and Construction Trades Councils, local law enforcement and the appropriate federal authorities to identify and bring those responsible to justice.”
