Local unions rally behind new Brockton High School
BROCKTON — Brockton-area unions for the building trades threw their support behind building a new Brockton High in a high-energy meeting in Brockton High School's red cafeteria on Tuesday evening. "This is not the place to cut corners with cheap, untrained labor, but to build a top-tier school, we must use top-tier workforce, and that's us," said Shamika Baker, member of the electrical workers union and a 23-year Brockton resident, to applause. The meeting filled most of the cafeteria with burly workers, some coming straight from the job and wearing neon yellow shirts. It happened on the heels of Suffolk Construction being selected as the general contractor for the project. Asked by The Enterprise how Suffolk will choose builders, Executive Vice President Kevin Chamberland said in a statement the firm "will partner with organized labor who understand construction at scale and can deliver the project safely and on time." He also pointed out, "our track record for meeting and exceeding local participation goals is very strong." 'The union building trades aren't outsiders, coming in for a job' Steve Barry, president of an association of Brockton-area building trades unions, encouraged members to tell their families and neighbors to support the Brockton
