Prop 50

Posted October 31, 2025

Brothers and sisters,

Please note that you will be receiving a postcard in the mail stating the change to our monthly meeting for the month of November. It’s moved to Wednesday November 12,2025 at 6:00 p.m. 

On November 4th Californians will vote on Prop 50 in a statewide special election and we want to stress how important it is for working people like us.

The official labor coalition argues that a “YES” helps protect our union jobs, supports infrastructure investment (think: more publicly funded construction, more trade-jobs) and defends workers’ rights from attacks.  

If we don’t act, the argument goes, we may face elected officials less friendly to labor, less likely to back apprenticeship programs, prevailing wages, union hiring halls. Our voices can be diluted.  

Vote YES on Prop 50 and return your ballot by November 4 

  

Jose Luis Rivera

Business Representative
