#NoAprilFools: The #AmericanJobsPlan would invest: $621 Billion in roads and highways; $213 Billion in commercial and residential #Construction; $85 Billion in public transit;... $80 Billion in Amtrak; and $56 Billion in water #infrastructure. We did the math: that's $1.06 TRILLION to improve our infrastructure, #BuildBackBetter, and put LIUNA members to work.

#ICYMI: LIUNA General President Terry O'Sullivan on President Joe Biden's $2 TRILLION #AmericanJobsPlan: "President Biden's #infrastructure proposal has the potential to be the most significant jobs-creating investment ever in our nation. Our nation's infrastructure needs have been languishing for far too long and an infrastructure renaissance is now within reach. "The White House infrastructure proposal will restore our economy and create hundreds of thousands of good #union... jobs. The proposal recognizes that our infrastructure needs are vast and will only continue to grow without decisive action. More than forty percent of our roadways are in poor or mediocre condition and Americans make 178 million trips daily across structurally deficient bridges. There is a water main break every two minutes. Our infrastructure deficiencies are a threat to our economy and our safety. "We expect and urgently need a bipartisan plan for the reauthorization of the Highway Bill from the Administration that Congress can get to work on and take action on immediately. And we should put all funding mechanisms on the table. "We also look forward to working with the Administration on insisting that the renewable industry does not short-change and cheat working men and women of good family-supporting pay and benefits on the jobs building this infrastructure. We appreciate the President's commitment to making sure that strong labor standards are tied to new jobs building the green economy to ensure the jobs that are created are good-quality jobs."
