Statement of New York State AFL-CIO President Mario Cilento on Empire 1 Offshore Wind Project

Albany, NY – The Union Movement thanks Governor Hochul for championing the thousands of union members who will work on the Empire Wind Project. We congratulate her on today's announcement that President Trump agreed to lift the stop-work order. I know how hard the governor worked to make this happen. Once again, the governor has shown her unwavering commitment to supporting family-sustaining union jobs. She continues to deliver on her promise to ensure that our clean energy future will be union-built, union-operated, and union-maintained.
