United Steelworkers and two Chinese companies signed an agreement Friday August 6th, 2010 assuring major components for the large, $1.5 billion wind farm to be built in West Texas would be manufactured by American companies within the United States.

The agreement announced the two Chinese companies anticipate buying 50,000 tons of steel from unionized American mills for the wind project. In an article in the New York Times last week detailing the agreement, explains The United Steelworkers partnership with legislators and other groups to set strict actions to ensure American jobs and good business practices between the two Chinese companies and manufacturers in the U.S.

The article in the New York Times explains Jinxiang Lu, the chairman and chief executive of Shenyang Power Group, one of the two Chinese companies working on the West Texas 615 megawatt wind farm, partnered with U.S. Renewable Energy group and United Steelworkers president Leo W. Gerard to “…understand his [Gerard’s] vision for win-win relationships between manufacturers and workers.”


This collaborative agreement, and others likes it, ensure United States manufacturers have a seat at the table for wind energy in an increasingly globalized market.
