You the Georgia Rate payer will soon be paying extra on your power bill to build the new Nuclear Units at Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle in Waynesboro Georgia.  Georgia Power hired Shaw Construction to perform the Plant Construction. Shaw has given every indication they intend to perform the project NON UNION. These non union workers are likely to be out of state workers or foreign nationals from Shaw's facilities in France, Germany, Mexico or elswhere.  They now have over 400 non union mainly out of state construction workers on the job.  If they are successful in doing this project without a Project Labor Agreement it would be the largest non union construction project in the United States and would be the first of many non union Nuclear Plants constructed in the US; but primarily in the Southeast and Southwest. WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.

Please help the Building Trades send a strong, loud and clear message to Georgia Power and the Shaw Group and to anyone else that the Labor Movement of Georgia is united in their determination to stop union busting in Georgia. Join us at 6:00 AM Friday November 6^th 2009 at the Vogtle Nuclear Plant; 7821 River Rd, Waynesboro, GA.  Information about hotel accommodations will be forthcoming in future emails.   

We are going to the plant site for this event and we hope to have a very big turnout.  The next stop is Atlanta.  It has been a while since we put 10,000 feet in the street but we can do it again if we need to.

Stand Up Speak Out; If we are going to pay for this Plant WE WANT TO BUILD IT!

For Justice and Solidarity,
