United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus praised the grant funding announcement for GlobalFoundries fabs in upstate New York and Vermont as a critical investment from the Biden-Harris Administration:
“With a strong project labor agreement already in place, these GlobalFoundries projects will put the hardworking men and women of the United Association to work revolutionizing the American semiconductor manufacturing industry. UA members are the best trained and most highly skilled craftspeople in the world, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with a proud American manufacturer,” said Mark McManus, General President of the United Association. “Our PLA with GlobalFoundries, combined with the Biden-Harris Administration’s continued support for union members like us, will ensure these projects create the family sustaining jobs that power our country. We look forward to continuing this important work with the Administration to reclaim our nation’s rightful place as the world leader in semiconductor manufacturing.”
