Congressional Labor Caucus Leaders Urge Secretary Burgum to Lift Stop Work Order on Revolution Wind Project

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Representatives Seth Magaziner (RI-02) and Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), co-leads of the Congressional Labor Caucus’ Building Trades Task Force along with Caucus Co-Chairs Donald Norcross (NJ-01), Debbie Dingell (MI-06), Steven Horsford (NV-04), and Mark Pocan (WI-02) issued the following statement in response to the stop work order issued by the Department of the Interior on the Revolution Wind Project off the coast of Rhode Island:

“Over a thousand union tradesmen and women’s jobs are hanging in the balance due to the stop work order on Revolution Wind, a project that is 80 percent complete and set to deliver affordable, American-made energy to over 350,000 homes.

Along with other clean energy projects the Administration has halted, this is yet another attack on construction workers. Secretary Burgum needs to lift the order and allow these hardworking men and women back to finish the job, provide for their families, and help achieve American energy independence.”
