OPINION: Everyone benefits from infrastructure bill

Wilmington, N.C. – Donneta Williams and her co-workers at the Corning plant in Wilmington, N.C., hail from different backgrounds and hold diverse views.
But just as they team up on the production floor to make top-quality products powering the Internet, they banded together to push for a long-overdue infrastructure program that’s destined to lift up their community and countless others across America.
They didn’t fight alone. Williams and her colleagues were among a veritable army of Steelworkers and other activists from all over America whose unstinting advocacy helped to propel a historic infrastructure package through Congress and into the Oval Office.
Their rallies, letters, phone calls, tweets and visits to congressional offices provided the heft behind the bipartisan legislation that cleared the House last week, just as their steely resolve helped to deliver the Senate’s vote in August.
