ASK YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO COSPONSOR THE GREEN JOBS IMPROVEMENT ACT

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 included $500 million in funding for the Green Jobs Act, which requires any training entity applying for new green jobs funding to partner with organized labor, effectively barring nearly 80% of Contractors in New Jersey from applying for Green Job training funds for their members.

To receive federal funding, this Act forces organizations to partner with labor unions. The problem: Nationally, organized labor only makes up 7.8 percent of the private sector workforce.

Representative John Kline (R-Minn.) introduced the Green Job Improvement Act which would amend the Green Jobs Act to make any accredited training program, regardless of labor affiliation, eligible to receive Green Job training grants.

If the Green Jobs Act is not fixed, over 90 percent of the private sector workforce will not be able to compete in one of the largest growing fields of construction.
