Just days before Labor Day, a holiday designed to celebrate the importance and power of American workers in the United States, the Transportation Department cancelled $679 million in funding for offshore wind projects, and the Department of Energy announced it is withdrawing a $716 million loan guarantee to complete infrastructure for an offshore wind project in New Jersey.

Letters from an American

With fear in the air and uncertainty abound
Layoffs are common across the whole town
Time and time again it's been seen
That job security eludes the American dream
When workers are left without a voice and without choice
Where compassion and support are absent with no other way to rejoice
The American worker remains resilient and strong
In the face of a crisis and when job losses go long
