WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9) was notified Tuesday that he has received a 100 percent on the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Legislative Scorecard. The 901,831-member union cited Congressman Cohen’s recent vote on the Faster Labor Contracts Act which was passed through the discharge petition process on June 9 when Republican leaders refused to bring it to the floor for a vote.
Congressman Cohen made the following statement:
“I have always supported labor unions and the right to fair and timely collective bargaining. I’m proud to receive the IBEW’s endorsement of my work for its causes, including improving workers’ protections and benefits and strengthening the middle class through investments in emerging energy technologies and broadband access, and I thank them for the recognition.”
The scorecard assessed Congressman Cohen’s votes on 10 major labor-supported bills in the House dating back to the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
