U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and spoke about a recent announcement by Ford Motor Co. to add 1,800 union jobs at its Ohio Assembly Plant.

Brown discussed how the national investment in electric vehicles through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act might have influenced this decision and what the announcement will mean for Ohio’s economy.

He also explained why the Infrastructure Act will create plenty of good paying jobs in Ohio and the increased popularity of unions, especially among young people.
