Congratulations to Communications Workers of America, New Flyer, Jobs to Move America and the Anniston, Alabama workers on their first contract! New Flyer’s workers make the buses that literally make public transit run. The workers voted to unionize in January and now have a first contract 4 months later. This is what can happen when parties negotiate in good faith and with real respect. We can have clean air, public transportation, strong infrastructure, AND good jobs. ALL of this is possible when we invest in America and American manufacturing and have the most pro-worker, pro-union president in history. President Biden and I have your back.

Please do join us to learn about this exciting opportunity to support community workforce development that is centered on the needs of local workers! In addition to U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Director Betony Jones, we'll hear from Laura Dresser of the High Road Strategy Center at University of Wisconsin, India Heckstall of the Center for Law and Social Policy, @Matt Winter from Jobs to Move America, and Shalin Jyotishi of New America. Will be a great conversation about how to make sure the benefits of investments in clean energy are broadly shared.
