Under the policy, Central Hudson projects more than $1.5 million that does not carry Prevailing Wage requirements will be performed under a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) and projects over $375,000 that include Prevailing Wage will be performed by Union Workers. \u201cOur Members build the infrastructure that keeps the Hudson Valley running and this policy means they\u2019ll be the ones doing that work for years to come. Central Hudson has been a real partner to the Building Trades. They invest in this region, they hire local and they put that commitment in writing. That\u2019s what a good employer does and it\u2019s why our Members stand with Central Hudson,\u201d said Todd Diorio, who serves as the President of the Hudson Valley Building and Construction Trades Council and as Chairman of the New York State Laborers\u2019 PAC and Special International Representative. Central Hudson President Stephanie Raymond said the agreement \u201cmarks an important milestone for Central Hudson and our Labor partners.\u201d She said the agreement \u201crecognizes that successful infrastructure projects depend on Skilled Workers, strong Labor-Management relationships and a shared commitment to the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To Directly Access This Labor News Report, Go To: <a href=\"https:\/\/midhudsonnews.com\/2026\/10\/14\/hudson-valley-building-trades-and-central-hudson-sign-labor-usage-agreement\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hudson Valley Building Trades and Central Hudson sign labor usage agreement &#8211; Mid Hudson News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And For More, Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/empirereportnewyork.com\/hudson-valley-building-trades-and-central-hudson-sign-labor-usage-policy-to-keep-local-union-workers-on-the-job\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">HUDSON VALLEY BUILDING TRADES AND CENTRAL HUDSON SIGN LABOR USAGE POLICY TO KEEP LOCAL UNION WORKERS ON THE JOB &#8211; Empire Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hank Gross at The Hudson Valley News reports the Hudson Valley Building and Construction Trades Council and Central&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373204,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[5177,9,11,10,49,51,50,5178,5179],"class_list":["post-373203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-labor-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-state","tag-new-york-state-headlines","tag-new-york-state-news","tag-western-new-york","tag-wny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373203"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373203\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
