Washington, D.C. (May 15, 2019) – Terry O’Sullivan, General President of LIUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – made the following statement on the need for an infrastructure package.

For the half-million members of LIUNA who are ready, willing and able to build this nation, a robust infrastructure package is not only urgent but it can't come soon enough. With an agreement on broad terms between the White House and top Democratic leaders, it's time for Congress to take the reins and put together a bipartisan package that will provide long-term sustainable investment in our nation's infrastructure and create hundreds of thousands of good, family-supporting, middle-class jobs.
