Keith Brothers feels that far too often when local development happens, unions are the last to be contacted, and there's no early assurance that jobs will be local.

"Clearly Deepwater Wind is a responsible development," he said. "They're looking to hire local, trained workers — a union workforce, which benefits the community."
