Our proposed rule would end family seating junk fees. If you’re flying with your child, you should be able to sit next to them and with no extra fees attached. It’s common sense.

Kids are heading back to school; remember to be cautious in school zones. Slow down and watch for students playing near bus stops and crossing the street.

Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

Today, our ports are open. Dockworkers are poised for a record hourly wage increase, and critical supplies can keep moving in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The agreement that made this possible demonstrates the power and importance of collective bargaining in America.

I'm confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration's "Big Deal" for infrastructure made big things possible.

Southwest passengers have experienced unacceptable disruptions and customer service conditions. I have made clear to their executives that our department will hold Southwest accountable for making things right with their customers and employees.

In the last 10 years, foreign-owned ocean carriers’ profits rose 350% or more, but port worker wages only increased about 15%. We've urged both parties to come to the table and for USMX to present an offer that lets workers participate in these astronomical profits.

President Biden took office and immediately faced America's worst economic crisis in almost a century. Experts expected a recession. Instead, today the economy is growing, inflation and interest rates are falling, and the job market remains strong.

One of the best parts of my job is meeting people who will be delivering the infrastructure projects we're funding. I met Jordan in Washington state, where we're helping replace the I-5 bridge. Like many veterans, he found his way to a union & civilian work that changed his life.

President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—signed into law three years ago today—is historic in its proportions. It has set into motion a generation’s worth of infrastructure projects and good-paying careers in every state in the country. It’s the Big Deal.

Philadelphia’s Chinatown has been the heartbeat of the Asian American community here for 150 years—but was physically divided by construction of the Vine Street Expressway. We are helping empower and reconnect this community with a highway cap and a public park.
