In a statement from Unionwear’s union, Workers’ United, praised the recent $1T infrastructure package signed into law by President Biden.

“Congress joined a bipartisan level of support in the Senate which had passed this act twice earlier this year. Now, all federally procured PPE will have strong domestic content and production standards, which creates a stable market for responsible companies to serve, creating good jobs making safe products for frontline workers,” said Workers United International President Lynne Fox.

Among other things, the bill shores up domestic infrastructure to make more PPE in the USA. It provides at least 2 years to incentivize investment in the production of PPE and the materials and component manufacturing
