20 de diciembre de 2009
Bechtel Construction Company and two labor organizations announced an agreement for the construction of BrightSource Energy's Ivanpah Solar Electricity Generating System, a 440-megawatt solar power in California .
Under the Project Labor Agreement (PLA), the State Building and Construction Trades Council of California (SBCTC), and the Building & Construction Trades Council of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties will provide qualified, skilled craft workers to BrightSource's Ivanpah project, and Bechtel will provide fair wages, fringe benefits, and working conditions for all craft workers.
"This project is a great example of how the new green technology is now providing real jobs for thousands of workers," said Robert Balgenorth, president of the SBCTC. "This PLA ensures that the jobs will provide good wages and benefits for workers, who will provide the highest quality of work, resulting in new, cleaner energy for generations to come."
