“The West Virginia AFL-CIO thanks Senator Manchin for sticking to his guns and not falling prey to politicalgamesmanship. Despite tremendous pressure from extremists on both sides of the political spectrum, Senator Manchin continued to negotiate in good faith, while making fiscal responsibility his top priority. We hope Congress acts quickly to adopt this measure, and are hopeful that other provisions that were on the table, including leveling the playing field for organizing and making childcare and housing more affordable, will soon follow.”
