House Budget Bill: Union Jobs in Jeopardy!

BUY NOW! The House Budget Reconciliation Bill is a disaster for union jobs, and it's time to sound the alarm! Brent Booker, General President of the Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA), has made it crystal clear: this bill is a direct attack on the good-paying jobs that LIUNA members rely on. The so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” is anything but beautiful for the hardworking men and women who build our nation.

STAY AWAY! The bill threatens to choke off job-creating energy infrastructure projects, and it's all to appease partisan extremists in the Freedom Caucus. These cuts are not about saving federal dollars; they're about lining the pockets of the wealthy while leaving union jobs in the dust. The latest report from the Congressional Budget Office revealed that deficits will actually increase from its passage. There is nothing ‘beautiful’ about leveraging our members’ jobs to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

DO THIS! The bill upends tax incentives that have promoted clean energy projects and put tens-of-thousands of LIUNA members to work. Energy tax credits have helped create thousands of good union jobs for LIUNA members across the country, in red and blue districts alike. Many of these hardworking men and women wouldn’t have jobs today without those credits. The bill proposes eliminating the FERS supplemental retirement payments and reducing the FERS benefit by basing it on an employee’s highest average salary over five years instead of three. These changes could lead to a reduction in the workforce dedicated to clean energy projects, further impacting their viability.

BOO-YAH! The more than a half-million members of LIUNA are on the forefront of the construction industry, a powerhouse of workers who are proud to build the U.S. and Canada. LIUNA will always fight to protect these critical investments—and the jobs they support. On behalf of the more than 530,000 proud men and women who go to work each day building our nation as LIUNA members, we urge the U.S. Senate to advance a budget that works for all workers—not just billionaires at the top. There is a path forward, one that protects good jobs and puts the American people first.
