Ohio AFL-CIO Political Director Jason Perlman joined the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and discussed how the recent passage of the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) and Science Act by the U.S. Senate and House will impact the planned Intel semiconductor project being built in Central Ohio. 

With the CHIPS Act headed to the desk of President Joe Biden for his signature, Intel will announce a new groundbreaking ceremony date in the coming weeks, Perlman said. The company had postponed a July 22 groundbreaking ceremony when the bill was mired in Congress. Upon completion, it will be the largest semiconductor plant in the world and employ 10,000 construction workers and 3,000 full time workers, he added. 

Perlman also spoke about the U.S. House passing the Delphi Pension Bill, which protects the pensions of Delphi workers who were not included in the American Rescue Plan.
