Washington, D.C. – The Alaska Natural Gas Pipeline project received a major boost today at the AFL-CIO convention in Pittsburgh, PA. Tagged as the "important project to our nation’s economic future," the project was endorsed in three resolutions unanimously passed by AFL-CIO convention delegates.

Drue Pearce, federal coordinator for the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Alaska Natural Gas Transportation Projects (OFC) said, “Today the Alaska natural gas pipeline project received a monumental endorsement from labor at the AFL-CIO annual convention. America needs world-class infrastructure projects that can give hard working Americans good paying jobs. This is just that kind of project and the AFL-CIO working families get it.”
