Philadelphia – Congressman Bob Brady (D., PA), wearing a cast and using a cane because of an Achilles tear, took time to shake hands and join Sunoco workers at the official launch of Philadelphia Energy Solutions (PES) and its partnership with The Carlyle Group and Sunoco. By entering into the joint venture, Carlyle and Sunoco were able to save 850 jobs, create 100 to 200 new permanent jobs as well as thousands of construction jobs. Brady said, “Today’s launch is a perfect example of how labor, business and government can work together to get things done. “
Brady has been credited with being key to the negotiations that led to the forming of the refinery joint venture.
