From the Hill to the Mountains

Celebrating Labor Day in the Mountain State

Our great nation was built on the backs of a strong, diverse and dedicated workforce. It is only fitting that, every year on Labor Day, we acknowledge the social, civic and economic contributions of our working men and women. Labor Day was first celebrated in 1882 when work was hard to find, and those who did find work struggled to receive fair compensation, safe working conditions and fair work hours.

Since that time, we have come a long way as a state and as a nation on behalf of our workforce and working families, but there is always more to achieve. The best way to invest in the future of our state and nation is to invest in our current workforce and in our youth, and to provide opportunities for all who want to work to do so with success and in the best environments we can provide. We must continue to instill a strong work ethic in our youth, and inspire them to excel, to pursue the higher education or training needed to land good jobs, and to keep their talents within our beautiful state.

There is nothing more honorable or rewarding than working hard to provide for your loved ones. As your former Governor and now as your United States Senator, I am continuing to do my part to ensure our workforce has safe conditions, good wages and opportunities to create a strong future right here in the Mountain State.

While I continue fighting for new jobs and opportunities in West Virginia, I join each of you this holiday weekend in thanking the hardworking men and women who make a difference in our state every day. Our West Virginia workforce keeps the lights on, educates our children, improves our economy and keeps our communities safe and healthy and all of that is certainly something to be proud of.

Happy Labor Day, West Virginia. Thank you for all your hard work.

NEW JOBS IN WV

Jobs Announcement at the Tech Park in South Charleston

I was excited to join N3, an international technology and marketing company, on Monday at the West Virginia Regional Technology Park to announce the addition of approximately 300 new jobs in the Charleston area. When I was Governor and we were fighting to save the tech park, we knew that making it a success wouldn’t be easy. No major economic development project ever is. That’s why the announcement by N3 is so significant for the park, the Kanawha Valley, and our entire state. Welcome to West Virginia, N3!

Following the recent disaster declaration, FEMA has opened three Disaster Recovery Centers in flood-impacted regions of our state. Volunteers and agency officials will be on hand to answer questions about disaster assistance. If you were impacted by the recent flooding, I encourage you to visit one of these locations:

Route 10 in Logan

On August 23, my Regional Coordinator, Mike Browning, attended the ribbon cutting for the road project that connects Logan County communities with a four-lane highway. After 20 years of planning, we can celebrate safer, more convenient access to this beautiful area of the Mountain State.

How May We Help You?

I truly appreciate the opportunity to hear from West Virginians. As your U.S. Senator, I am proud to be your voice with government agencies during your time of need. My goal is to provide top-notch customer service for every West Virginian who contacts me, or who may need help. I have a team of caseworkers in each of my four offices to help you with matters of concern. While I have no direct jurisdiction in the administrative matters of any federal, state, or local agency, I welcome the opportunity to assist you with whatever problem you may be experiencing and ask that full consideration be given to your case.

Recently my office was able to help Dianne Hughes from Beckley, West Virginia. Dianne contacted our office for assistance with the IRS. Due to a technicality under the Affordable Care Act, she was penalized for her insurance premiums once she obtained other insurance coverage. Amber McCartney, caseworker, in my Charleston office was able to work with the IRS on her behalf for a favorable outcome. If you need help with the IRS, VA, Social Security, Black Lung benefits, or recognition, please contact my office or click here to email me.

Diane Hughes received assistance from Senator Manchin's office with the IRS.
