Bill Cassidy, Ranking Member, Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.

NSSGA represents the aggregates industry, and the equipment manufacturers and service providers who support them. Our industry has 9,000 facilities and well over 100,000 employees in high-paying jobs. The industry produces 2.5 billion tons of aggregates annually, which is crucial for sustaining our lifestyle and constructing the nation's infrastructure and communities.
