on Friday plans to sign an executive order for federal grants that would prioritize projects with labor agreements , wage standards, and benefits such as access to child care and apprenticeship programs .“A good job is a job with security and benefits, where workers have the right to join a union, advocate for better working conditions, come home safe and healthy, and retire with dignity,” said Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su.

By the administration's count, its incentives have prompted $900 billion worth of private-sector investments in renewable energy and manufacturing. Those commitments have yet to resonate much with voters who are more focused on the lingering damage caused by inflation spiking in 2022, but many projects will take several years to come to fruition.GENEVA — U.N.
