You need look no further than Electrical Workers Local 48 to see the union movement’s commitment to creating good green jobs and protecting our environment.
The Portland, Ore., local is installing a solar array at its union hall. When completed, the all-union project not only will provide 40 percent of the local’s electrical usage for the next 30 years, but also will be used to train members on the design and installation of solar arrays.
Local 48’s project highlights the efforts by the union movement to transform the struggling economy through a range of environmental investments in green technology, energy efficiency and renewable energy.
