The House moved forward with a wide-ranging Federal Aviation Administration bill on Friday, paving the way for the first comprehensive modernization of the nation’s skyways in decades. 

The version of the bill that passed in the House contained a provision authored by Rep. Mazie Hirono that is expected to provide millions of dollars to Hawaii to help upgrade its airports. 

Hirono, a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said she’s “thankful” that her amendment passed. But she also said in a statement that there are “disturbing provisions” that made their way into the legislation as a result of “politics.”

Those provisions, she said, will make it harder for workers to join unions. 

“I don’t support these provisions and will work to see them changed,” Hirono said.
