On Monday, we spent the day celebrating offshore wind and sharing experiences of the union workers building it! Thank you to and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy for hosting this exciting piece of the New England Governors/Eastern Canadian Premiers Conference.
President Chrissy Lynch and
President Frank Callahan spoke about labor being at the heart of clean energy infrastructure, and how we can fight climate change while growing the middle class with thousands of family-sustaining union jobs.
In the afternoon, our Executive Director Ryan Murphy hosted a panel on Project Labor Agreements and community benefits with local labor and community leaders, including Yvonne Tobey, Program Director of South, Doug Nelson, Business Manager of , and Jim Pimental, President of the Southeastern Mass Building Trades Council.
Massachusetts is leading the way on offshore wind, and our unions can’t wait to build this critical infrastructure. Together, we can deliver more clean power to MA residents, using local, highly-skilled workers and apprentices.
