Union made was originally a requirement for the Build Back Better EV subsidies, but non-union manufacturers complained.
With no Republican support in the Senate, it needed every Dem vote to pass. Joe Manchin had the requirement removed.
Between Dejoy's stalling the union Oshkosh purchase and a razor thin margin in Congress, getting it passed seems impossible, though it was actually one of the original initiatives.
