NABTU Issues Statement on COVID-19 Relief and Omnibus Agreement
WASHINGTON — North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) president Sean McGarvey issued the following statement on the just-released COVID-19 relief deal and omnibus agreement:
“As we pour through details of the COVID-19 relief deal and omnibus agreement, it is clear that Congress failed to meet the moment. While they resurrected the ‘three-martini lunch’ tax deduction in this bill, although not as outrageous as the $210 billion tax cut for the wealthiest families in the country in the Cares Act, Congress should sip on the fact that they will be directly responsible for not supporting the creation and retention of thousands of middle-class jobs in their states and districts.
