HAPPENING IN CONGRESS
Congress Passes Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act
Recently, Congress passed the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act (H.R. 4447), which includes certain amendments that provide strong labor standards and establish a grant for union pre-apprenticeship training programs. However, the legislation also contains provisions that hinder the construction of important energy infrastructure. LIUNA opposes such unnecessary job killing proposals and will continue to work for legislation that expands job creation in existing and emerging energy sectors. Read Statement.
LIUNA Supports H.R. 8406, the HEROES Act
LIUNA is proud to support H.R. 8406, the HEROES Act. H.R. 8406 has $2.2 trillion in significant, necessary help for middle-class families everywhere. LIUNA is especially supportive of the health care and economic relief provisions in the bill, including critically needed relief for multi-employer pensions in the form of partition (EPRA) and the optional composite provisions of the GROW Act.

Highway Bill Extension
Congress passed a one year extension of the Highway Bill at existing levels as a part of the agreement to keep the government funded into December. The extension provides some stability for states to continue important transportation infrastructure projects for another year, but unfortunately falls short of the long term reauthorization that we had hoped for.
