On November 15, President Biden signed the $1 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill into law—the largest infrastructure investment in our country’s history.
The historic legislation will:
Create high-quality union jobs and millions of hours of work for our members
Invest $65 billion to upgrade the power infrastructure, building thousands of miles of new, resilient transmission lines to facilitate the expansion of renewables and clean energy
Invest $7.5 billion to build out a national network of EV chargers
Rebuild our roads, bridges, and railroads
Expand Americans’ access to high-speed internet
Under this deal, new power infrastructure will will lower energy costs for families and communities.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal’s historic approach to rebuilding America’s infrastructure will help our country achieve a sustainable future while providing union jobs to support working and low-income families.
