Good roads are necessary for a strong economy. They also create good jobs for those who help build them.
Jobs in the construction industry are vanishing at alarming rates. As many as 20,000 construction-related jobs are estimated to have been lost in less than five years because of cuts to the State's highway program. And, an upcoming dramatic funding cut could slash as many as 20,000 more, unless state policymakers act.
Is the next lost job yours?
Let's face it--those in the heavy construction industry aren't accustomed to talking to their elected leaders. We work work on thejob. We provide for our families. We're no-nonsense kind of people. But, if you don't stand up for your job, then who will??
