Insulators Back MD Power Plant

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Members of Insulators Local 24 and other construction trades are supporting the proposed construction of a new nuclear power plant in Calvert County, Maryland. "If approved, the project will create thousands of union construction jobs, while helping our region meet its energy needs through a safe, secure and reliable source of power that does not produce greenhouse gases," says Local 24 Business Manager Lino Cressotti. Union members are testifying in support of the project at hearings – the next one is tomorrow, August 19 – before the Maryland Public Service Commission.
