Pressing Congress to Pass Build Back Better Agenda

Historic and transformational change for America’s infrastructure and jobs is the order of the day on Capitol Hill as

negotiators seek to construct legislation containing President Biden’s bold plan for America.

 

 

At issue are plans to build the charging infrastructure necessary for widescale

adoption of electric vehicles, buses, trains and trucks and create hundreds of

thousands of jobs in roads, transit, the electrical grid, passenger and freight rail,

broadband and water infrastructure.

 

After President Biden helped negotiate it, the Bipartisan Infrastructure

Investment and Jobs Act passed the Senate and is now under consideration by

the House of Representatives. Negotiators are also working on the Budget

Reconciliation package, the administration’s and congressional Democrats’

proposal for “human infrastructure.”

 

Both of these bills have the potential to impact a large swath of IBEW

membership and their families.
