Highly trained @IUOE825 Local 825 Operating Engineers are hard at work at the Alder Creek Project in Livingston Manor, NY. Eberhardt Excavating is bringing expert skills in clearing, excavation, and grading to this new residential site. This project is backed by an ELEC Market Recovery Program grant to ensure the job is done right.

Today, the IUOE remembers September 11, 2001. We honor those lost, including some of our members, and the brave men and women who devoted their skills in the cleanup efforts and who have since passed or continue to face the ill effects of this dangerous work. #NeverForget
The best trained, most professional operating engineers from Terco Construction are on the ground and ready to work in Andover thanks to a Market Recovery Grant. We all win when union labor is on the job.
"Lawmakers here in New Jersey should see this as a blaring alarm as they consider a similar policy that would waste taxpayers’ dollars in drawn out legal battles and ultimately drive-up costs for everyday New Jerseyans if the law were to survive in court." newjerseyglobe.com/labor/les…

New York Times columnist calls out the water use claim against data centers:
“The most viral claims about water use have largely been debunked, even though the effects are certainly not zero”

"For New Jersey taxpayers, the question surrounding major public construction projects is straightforward: How can the public entities build schools, infrastructure, roads and facilities faster, more efficiently and with greater certainty that the projects stay on budget?"

ELEC825's Dan Ortega being named in City & State's "The Who's Who in Government Relations" is a testament to the work that Dan does every day to advocate for the members of Local825. Congrats, Dan!
New Jersey needs real solutions to our growing energy challenges, and that means taking a hard look at what’s actually holding us back.
Senator Latham Tiver's Senate Bill 3870 is a step in the right direction. It cuts through outdated barriers and allows us to responsibly move forward with nuclear energy, one of the most reliable, zero-emission power sources we have.
Nuclear power delivers around-the-clock energy, strengthens our grid, and helps bring down long-term costs for families.
Just as important, it creates good-paying union jobs and real economic opportunity here at home.
At a time when energy bills are hitting families hard, we need to be part of the solution. This is about affordability, reliability, and building a stronger energy future for South Jersey.
Thank you, sponsors of S4864 that will keep our tax dollars local and help ensure that local infrastructure projects use local labor with Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). Let's build our future with union labor. @vingopal, Rep Egan, @annettequijano, @troy4nj7, @ld3nj, Rep Bailey, @deangeloLD14, Sen Tiver, @heathersimmons4, @asmverrelli, @sengreenstein
