Hochul, Unions Rally in Defense of Offshore Wind
The state’s building trades unions are not pleased. The paused New York projects collectively employ thousands of workers. On Friday, several hundred workers, including Juli — a member of the Dockbuilders and Timbermen Local 1556 — packed a union hall in central Long Island to voice their frustration. Standing alongside them were environmentalists, local elected officials, and Governor Kathy Hochul, who boasted that she has “union blood running through [her] veins.”
