Congressman Deluzio Visits Sheet Metal Workers Training Center in Harmarville

CARNEGIE, PA — Today, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) toured the Sheet Metal Workers Local 12 Training Center in Harmarville. The visit builds on his ironclad commitment to being a voice for hardworking people and an unflinching advocate for the union way of life and growing good-paying jobs in Western Pennsylvania.

“We’ve got to build an economy that works for everyone, and a big part of that means building—construction jobs that require serious training that programs like the Sheet Metal Workers Local 12 Training Center can provide,” said Congressman Deluzio. “The apprentices who are paid to learn the building trades here will do work that has dignity and supports their families, all while strengthening our regional workforce and economy. It’s a win-win, and I appreciate Sheet Metal Workers Local 12 for welcoming me and for all they do for our region’s growth.”

During the tour, Congressman Deluzio talked with the apprentice class about the skills they’re learning. He also sat down with union leadership to discuss a variety of policy issues and how they can continue working together to make sure workers have a voice in the federal government.  

Congressman Deluzio has long been a champion of strengthening our union workforce—a key pillar of his Make Stuff Here agenda. He will continue to support the union way of life, including defending laws like the Davis-Bacon Act and pushing for legislation like the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act.
