Senators Maria Cantwell and Susan Collins submitted a WIA dear colleague letter on Friday, April 4 to the Labor-HHS Appropriations subcommittee, requesting a rejection of the Administration's proposed funding cuts to WIA and the Employment Service and a restoration of funding back current levels at a minimum. Our partner organization, USA Works! took the lead in and working with Senator Cantwell to craft this letter and coordinate the other Washington groups focused on WIA programs to garner as many signatures as possible in the Senate. NWA worked closely with USA Works in this endeavor. We are pleased to report that 37 Senators signed on to the WIA dear colleague letter, an excellent showing of support for the workforce system. Please remember to thank your Senator for signing and sending his or her letter in support of the workforce system.
