As Democrats in the U.S. Senate attempt to save the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376), passed by the House on Nov. 19, taxpayers, small business champions and climate change advocates should pressure the Senate to permanently eliminate controversial policies that will needlessly increase costs, reduce competition and undermine America’s swift transition to clean energy.
Tucked in the House’s tax-and-spending package is language that forces private developers of solar, wind, hydrogen, carbon sequestration, electric vehicle charging stations and other clean energy projects to either hire union-signatory contractors and unionized construction workers or lose critical tax incentives that help grow America’s clean energy marketplace.
While not an explicit mandate to use unionized firms and labor, in practice this policy is a brazen attempt to leverage federal tax policy to boost union membership while penalizing the 87.3% of the U.S. construction workforce who have chosen to work for a nonunion contractor and not to join a union.

BINGO that’s what it’s all about and nothing else next act will be lay offs and rehire of cheap illegals labor force quality gets flushed.
This ought to make Hispanics real happy (/S)
Laws passed providing all Americans with rights and protections sought by unions had made most union membership irrelevant (and contributed to their demise).
