Newark Green Jobs Pilot Program
The Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA), in partnership with the Garden State Alliance for New Economy and the City of Newark, launched a partnership to offer union-trained green construction jobs for Newark residents in home energy retrofits in January 2009. Through the pilot program, local residents are hired and trained to weatherize homes of needy households, thus reducing energy consumption, cutting costs for those most in need, and creating good paying, career track jobs.
