Infrastructure Actions

October 13, 2021 By

This month is critical for infrastructure. Congress continues to debate the size and scope of the reconciliation bill and are aiming to pass the infrastructure package (reconciliation and the bipartisan bill) by the end of October. There is intense debate over the size of the reconciliation bill and it will likely be cut down significantly from $3.5 trillion to somewhere in the ballpark of $2 trillion. This means our priorities could be on the chopping block. We can’t let this happen.

 

We want to keep the pressure up on every member of Congress to pass both bills and make sure they include SMART priorities. The AFL-CIO is asking every state federation and central labor council to meet with every member of Congress over the next week to share this message—pass both bills with all of labor’s priorities.

SMART Army request: We are asking the SMART Army to take the same action as the AFL-CIO. Over the next week, meet with every member of Congress in your area.  Ask them to pass both bills and include SMART priorities.

SMART’s four primary asks for infrastructure:

  • Apply strong labor standards to any infrastructure project receiving federal support.
  • Provide at least $100 billion for school construction.
  • Include PRO Act provisions.
  • Strengthen rail and transit safety provisions (such as those incorporated into the House’s INVEST Act).

 

SMART’s overall message:

  • Our position has been and continues to be—we need both bills as quickly as possible!
  • Both bills have important priorities for SMART and we want to see both passed and all of our priorities included.
  • We want to continue to leave the negotiation of how this is sequenced and gets done to the party but want to make sure we let members of Congress know that we want both bills and that we want our priorities included.
  • It is critical that all SMART locals stick to this message. We are stronger speaking with a unified message.

Links and attached Materials:

  • Spreadsheet of targets: The spreadsheet of all members of Congress is here. You can use the spreadsheet to find where members stand on our priorities and if they serve on key committees.
  • Key MOC messages document: This word document is a “cheat sheet” so you can tailor the message based on the position of the member and what they’ve done on our priorities to date.
  • Toolkit: The toolkit provides an overview of infrastructure, a link to an action alert, text link, sample social media posts, sample letters to the editor and a script for member videos.
  • Telephone TPs: This document provides an overview of our top asks and points members can use when calling and/or talking to members at town hall events.
  • Infrastructure-rail safety talking points: This document provides talking points on rail safety.
  • Town Hall spreadsheet: This link provides an up-to-date overview of town hall events by state and district.
  • Breakdown of infrastructure package: This document outlines the provisions of the bipartisan infrastructure bill and reconciliation that benefit SMART members. It is important that we continue to urge Congress to pass both right away because both have critical provisions, and we want all of it!
  • Biden accomplishments: This podcast breaks down Biden’s first 100 days in office and how it benefits labor. Page 3 and 24-30 in the latest issue of the SMART Journal outline a timeline of Biden’s accomplishments for labor.

Hoboken Men’s locker room update 09/16/21

September 16, 2021 By

Message from Hoboken supervision 

Good morning,

I spoke with Gerry regarding the issues that were reported with the AC. The noise is coming from bearings in the driveshaft. It is repairable, but the AC will need to be down for a few days. I understand it may be inconvenient, but I am told if that bearing seizes, which is possible given the amount of noise it’s making, the downtime will much longer. Access to certain lockers will also be hampered during this time due to the structure needed to support the elevated work area. I am meeting with Gerry later to determine which lockers will be affected and will post notices on those lockers by the end of business today.

Again, I know this will be inconvenient but this is the quickest way to get the problem resolved before it gets worse.

We will keep membership updated here thanks for understanding

SMART-TD Disaster Relief Fund activated in wake of Ida

The SMART Transportation Division is primed to assist members in their time of need when disaster strikes.

Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana and Mississippi on Aug. 29 and tore a path through an area stretching from the Gulf Coast to the New York-New Jersey region, dropping torrential rain and affecting members’ lives with its massive flooding and wind damage.

Our members in the impacted area, both active and retired, face a long recovery and the painful task of rebuilding their homes and carrying on with their lives.

Furthermore, not only are they coping with the aftermath of a storm, they are doing so against the backdrop of the continuing COVID pandemic.

We are asking the SMART-TD family to heed the call and give what you can so that the difficult task of starting over and rebuilding can begin for any TD members who have been affected by Ida.

Any donations will help lessen the struggle and bring real hope and relief to our members who are suffering after this great loss. SMART-TD will administer donations sent to the SMART-TD Disaster Relief Fund.

Contributions may be sent and made payable to:

SMART-TD Disaster Relief Fund
24950 Country Club Blvd.
Suite 340
North Olmsted, OH 44070-5333

TD members who have suffered damage or loss due to this storm can contact the SMART-TD office for an application for disaster assistance by calling 216-227-5237.
