Vice President Kamala Harris went to Philadelphia on Tuesday to announce a new Labor Department rule that the Biden administration says will strengthen wages for construction trades workers across the country.
In addition to delivering remarks to union construction workers and union leaders, the vice president was visiting the site of a project at the Interstate 95 interchange with the Betsy Ross Bridge, one of several spans crossing the Delaware River.
Harris said a construction worker in the Pittsburgh area on the other end of the state who may be making $17 an hour would make up to $28 an hour under the new standard.
