Projects that receive assistance from the Infrastructure bank will be required to follow Buy America and Buy Clean provisions, pay Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, utilize project labor agreements, and ensure employers remain neutral in workers’ organizing efforts.6/11 #DemFuture

#Democrats believe All federally supported #infrastructure projects, whether existing or newly developed, financed through grants, loans, tax incentives, or a national infrastructure bank, should create good, union jobs that expand the middle class. 7/11 #DemPartyPlatform

That is why Dems will ensure labor protections,Davis-Bacon wage standards,project labor agreements,collective bargaining neutrality &domestic sourcing requirements are included in any infrastructure legislation &will block anti-worker provisions, includ. forced arbitration. 8/11

As we expand the clean energy technology and infrastructure industry; we will fight to enact legislation that will drive the creation of family sustaining jobs, with the high road labor standards with the provisions defined in the Good Jobs for the 21st Century Energy Act. ​9/11
