Washington, D.C. (February 7, 2023) – Terry O’Sullivan, General President of LIUNA – the Laborers’ International Union of North America – made the following statement today:

In his State of the Union address, President Biden laid out his plan to continue progress on the Administration’s landmark accomplishments and finish the job. The Biden Administration is delivering for working men and women through historic investments that are creating good, family-supporting jobs, measures reducing inflation reduction, and record-setting job growth, and wage growth.

 

The strong, proud, and united men, and women of the Laborers’ International Union of North America could not be more grateful to the President for his commitment to labor rights, good jobs, and protecting our hard-won wages and benefits.

LIUNA looks forward to continuing to work with the Administration to rebuild the backbone of this country with the roll-out of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, CHIPS, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
