“While details are still being negotiated, our support of this vital bipartisan proposal remains strong, and we are eager to see this key piece of legislation pass and be signed into law as soon as possible.”

“As has been proven time and time again, broad and robust infrastructure investment is the core foundation for sustained economic growth.  The over $700 billion in funding provided for roads, bridges, transit, rail, clean water and drinking water systems is the type of scale we desperately need to upgrade our nation’s outdated and crumbling infrastructure.”

“This deal has the potential to play a vital role in generating family-sustaining, middle class careers for construction workers across America.”

“With the Administration’s goal of creating 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030, it is imperative that these jobs of the future generate viable pathways to the middle class. Today’s announcement is a solid step in the right direction.”

“The INVEST in America Act will provide the level of funding needed to lay the foundation for a stronger economy that benefits working people in every corner of the nation, in both large cities and rural communities.”

“Although the Senator’s failed attempt was an unnecessary exercise that delayed passage of this much needed and timely legislation, it is a fresh reminder to the hard-working men and women in the construction industry about who really are their champions in public office.”

The event addressed the successes and challenges facing the unionized construction industry, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the urgent need for a broad infrastructure package that incorporates strong labor standards and supports the creation of middle class, family-sustaining careers.

“Unfortunately, over the last two weeks, this legislation has garnered opposition from a handful of Republican Senators whose central point of contention is the wages construction workers will receive to build this highly sensitive and critical infrastructure.”
