Key Points:
- The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers applauds the US Senate for affirming the strong labor standards in the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) Act.
- This was the first major floor vote on Davis Bacon in the US Senate in over a decade, and a resounding victory for American workers.
- As a union representing 128,000 workers in construction and manufacturing, we recognize that semiconductors are a critical link in the supply chain supporting many industries.
- This expanded list of Republican Davis-Bacon supporters proves that bipartisan agreement is still possible on commonsense issues such as the quality jobs supported by prevailing wage.
