Following the release of the Fiscal Year 2022 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, the statement below can be attributed to TWU International President John Samuelsen.
“With this appropriation, Congress is fully funding the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. This long overdue investment in transit, bridges, and highways will create hundreds of thousands of high-quality jobs for transportation workers across the country. The TWU is looking forward to helping get this money out to the frontlines where it is urgently needed to repair our infrastructure, increase transit service, and protect workers on the job.”
