PHMSA Grant Funding Will Create Good Union Jobs, Modernize Aging Critical Infrastructure

United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus hailed the latest announcement from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) of Natural Gas Distribution Infrastructure Safety and Modernization (NGDISM) grant recipients as a critical investment in our nation’s all-of-the-above energy approach:

“President Biden’s historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to invest in the hardworking men and women who build our nation. This grant funding will not only put union members to work, but it will modernize aging infrastructure and protect the health and safety of American communities. The men and women of the United Association are the best trained and most highly skilled craftspeople in our industry, and we look forward to our continued partnership with PHMSA and the Biden Administration to continue this important work together.”
