The Coalition for a Democratic Workplace (CDW) and the 376 undersigned organizations, representing industries across the country, urge you to oppose the Faster Labor Contracts Act (H.R. 5408) (FLCA), which is being brought to the House floor via a discharge petition (H.Res. 1140). The FLCA would empower the federal government to dictate the terms of contracts between unions and companies.
On behalf of the Work Zone Safety Coalition, representing contractors, engineers and safety providers united by an urgent mission to protect roadway workers and the traveling public, we write to voice our strong support for the critical work zone safety policies included in the BUILD America 250 Act. For too long, work zones have been among the most dangerous places on America's roads. On average, a work zone crash occurs in America about every five minutes, according to the National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse.
On behalf of the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) and our nearly 500 member companies, I write to thank you for introducing the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act and to commend the Committee for its work on this critical legislation. NSSGA represents the producers and suppliers of crushed stone, sand and gravel: the essential construction materials that form the literal foundation of every highway, bridge, and transit project in America.
The American Cement Association, National Asphalt Pavement Association, National Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and the National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association, which collectively represent construction materials that are essential to building surface transportation projects across the country, endorse the bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act. We encourage all members to vote yes and pass this critical legislation out of Committee.
The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the U.S. Trade Representative’s (USTR) Request for Comments in Docket No. USTR-2026-0067 regarding Section 301 investigations into structural excess capacity and production in manufacturing sectors.
The undersigned organizations, representing millions of employers operating in every sector of the American economy, urge the Department of the Treasury and the Department of Justice to support an expeditious review of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) by the Supreme Court (Court). The CTA imposes an unprecedented reporting regime on tens of millions of businesses and other legal entities, raising exceptionally important constitutional, privacy, and federalism questions warranting definitive review by the Court.
The undersigned organizations are pleased to provide comments on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (the Corps) request for input on potential future changes to Nationwide Permits (NWPs) (docket number COE-2026-0001). We appreciate the Corps’ decision to follow the process many of our organizations previously requested regarding the proposal to reissue and modify NWPs. On January 8, 2026, the Corps reissued and modified 56 existing NWPs and created one new NWP.
The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), is pleased to submit these comments on the Army Corps of Engineers’ (Corps)’ request for input on potential future changes to nationwide permits (NWPs). NSSGA continues to believe the size limits are too small and that aggregates should have its own permit, separate from other mining. NSSGA is also signing onto multindustry comments and incorporates these by reference.
The Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC), comprised of 34 trade organizations and labor unions, expresses strong opposition to proposals under discussion to suspend the federal gas tax. Such plans would have limited, if any, impact on consumer prices, and risk driving up costs on projects designed to improve every community across the country. The federal gas tax is the foundation of the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), which supports the nation's transportation improvements.
On behalf of the Jobs and Careers Coalition, we applaud the expansion of the Pell Grant program in H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (also known as the Working Families Tax Cuts Act). Our coalition has strongly supported the concept of Workforce Pell since it was introduced in 2017, and we are deeply pleased to see Pell Grant eligibility now being made available to students in short-term career-oriented educational programs, thus putting these workforce programs on a more level playing field with other educational programs.
