NYC CLC Statement on Trump Administration's Order to Halt Construction on Empire Wind 1

New York City Central Labor Council, AFL-CIO President Vincent Alvarez: The reckless and overreaching move to halt construction that is already underway on Empire Wind threatens thousands of good union jobs and jeopardizes the progress New York has made toward cleaner, more affordable energy. The NYC Labor Movement opposes this short-sighted and harmful decision politicizing the buildout of clean energy infrastructure that is critically needed to stabilize and reduce energy costs for working families across New York.
