Our hard work pays off

Over the last week, we have received some hopeful news that should help to save and preserve jobs for our members.  After months of lobbying and attending public meetings, Governor Cuomo has announced that Nuclear will be added to the Clean Energy Standard.

 

I would like to thank all of the Local 97 members who have come out to rallies, press conferences and public hearings.  It was only due to our hard work that the Governor added nuclear power to the Clean Energy Standard and the Public service Commission unanimously voted for the CES.

 

Please stay active and up to date with your union.  We will be having union meetings next week, please make every effort to attend and to let your fellow Local 97 members know about them.  Important updates and decisions are made at these meetings, but they are made by those who show up.  Please remember to work safely, especially in the summer heat.
