As we head into late spring, Washington is focused on President Biden’s broad infrastructure and investment economic programs – the “American Jobs Plan” and “American Families Plan” proposals. As Congress and the Administration roll up their sleeves and get to work, a number of important policies impacting TAUC members will be in play. Here is an exclusive update from TAUC on policy and regulatory issues of vital interest to contractors and the union construction and maintenance industry.

With the passage of a third COVID-19 response package, discussions in Washington have begun to shift to recovery from the public health crisis. The President rolled out a major aspect of his Building Back Better proposal by calling for over $2 trillion in federal investment in all aspects of the nation’s infrastructure. Both Houses of Congress began hearings on aspects of their infrastructure-related proposals ? such as surface transportation reauthorization and legislation designed to address climate change and energy resiliency ? with legislative action set to begin in committee later this spring.
