Supporting Organized Labor

Congressman Mrvan knows that organized labor is the foundation of the strength of the Northwest Indiana economy.  During the 119th Congress, he proudly serves as the Vice Chairman of the Congressional Steel Caucus and as a member of the Congressional Labor Caucus.  Additionally, Rep. Mrvan serves as the Chair of the New Democrat Coalition's Workforce & Education Working Group.

During his first two terms in office, Rep. Mrvan served on the House Committee on Education and Labor, where he advocated for all workers and labor organizations who are on the front lines of supporting our national economy and our national security.  Through his work on the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Mrvan continues to support initiatives aimed at strengthening job training and workforce development initiatives, workplace safety, health benefits, and retirement security for workers. 

Additionally, Rep. Mrvan has been an outspoken supporter for the reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WOIA), to help workers acquire skills to enter the workforce without a college degree.  He also supports the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, because he understands that the ability to form unions is essential to continuing to create more good-paying job opportunities and an economy that works for everyone.  

Rep. Mrvan will continue to work to support all workers and members of organized labor, and will continue to look for opportunities to advocate for apprenticeship programs, Davis-Bacon wage protection requirements, and the use of project labor agreements.
