    Our union has sent in formal demands to bargain, as well as information requests, regarding the Covid-19 vaccine mandates that Essentia Health and St. Luke’s both announced on August.  Both employers have a deadline of August 16 to respond.

    So far we do know that both employers will be providing a way for folks to seek medical or religious exemptions, but we don’t yet have a list of what would qualify someone for either.  For those looking for a medical exemption, it may be worthwhile to consult your physician now.

    In the last few weeks, there has been major movement from Congress to find a path towards infrastructure investment for our nation.

    The majority of these negotiations have been between the Senate and the White House, and have been bipartisan.

    It does appear that there will be two ways things will shake out – one in the form of a bipartisan Senate bill, the other in the form of a congressional budget reconciliation bill.

    One thing is clear - the Senate holds the cards.

    Bipartisan Senate Infrastructure Bill

    This once in a generation piece of legislation is mostly focused around physical infrastructure, and has heavy emphasis on creating and sustaining good-paying, union jobs.

    This deal makes:

    • The largest federal investment in public transit ever, and the largest federal investment in passenger rail since the creation of Amtrak. This will keep our nation moving and provide a boost to our members who make everything from tires to rail.
    • The single largest dedicated bridge investment since the construction of the interstate highway system. Our members stand ready to supply the materials for repair, replacement, and rehabilitation of these bridges. From the taconite to make the steel to the steel itself to guardrails to surfacing materials, USW members have a hand.
    • The largest investment in clean drinking water and waste water infrastructure in American history, delivering clean water to millions of families. Our members' work is critical in all aspects of this, from the components to the water treatment...
