Wind Turbine Manufacturer Gamesa Agrees to its First U.S. Union Contract

Berkeley, California [Green Options] Gamesa, a Spanish wind turbine manufacturer, has hammered out its first-ever U.S. union contract with the United Steelworkers (USW). Workers at two Gamesa facilities in Pennsylvania voted to approve their first contract with 80 percent in favor of it. The agreement lays the foundation for a stronger partnership between one of the world's largest wind turbine manufacturers - and the only one that makes its blades, nacelles, and towers all in the U.S. - and the 850,000 member union.
