Vineyard Wind and Southeastern Massachusetts Building Trades Council have signed a project labour agreement.

The agreement is expected to create hundreds of skilled union jobs while powering thousands of Massachusetts homes and businesses with clean energy, Vineyard said.

Southeastern Massachusetts Building Trades Council represents thousands of workers throughout the state’s south Coast, Cape Cod and islands.

A signing ceremony will be held to commemorate the project labour agreement in relation to the Vineyard Wind offshore wind project.

The agreement will create hundreds of “good paying union jobs” for area residents who will be employed on both land and sea components of the project.

These workers will be members of the twenty local union affiliates of the Southeastern Massachusetts Building Trades Council.
