Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Susan Collins, and Angus King have introduced the Protecting Public Naval Shipyards Act to exempt the workforces at public shipyards from recent hiring freezes and layoffs. This bipartisan bill is intended to ensure the maintenance of America’s nuclear submarine fleet remains uninterrupted.
Senator Shaheen stated that "the shipyard workforce represents an essential component of our national defense" and aims to codify their exemption from hiring freezes. The bill mandates the Department of Defense to exempt specific positions critical to submarine maintenance from workforce reductions, addressing ongoing personnel management issues.
According to Senator Collins, the legislation is crucial for maintaining a highly skilled workforce at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which is vital for national defense. The senators emphasize the need for sustained investments in shipyards to secure national security and the livelihoods of the workforce, as current hiring limits are inadequate to meet demand.
