Through the hard work of union members helping to get labor friendly politicians elected locally we have secured another local Project Labor Agreement in the city of Suisun. On Tuesday August 20th we attended the Suisun city council meeting and were rewarded with a unanimous vote to approve a Project Labor agreement with a $200,000 threshold. Thank you to all the people that come out and helped during election time to help us get the right people elected to pass these historic agreements that will guarantee working hours for our members going forward…
With that said, we will have opportunities to get involved in this election year again to get the right people elected to help the labor movement. Check the VAC calendar for opportunities to get involved and in turn you get rewarded by being invited to a great event at the Ruby Hill venue in Pleasanton where you will be treated to door prizes and raffle tickets to win the bigger prizes. You will be treated to hors d’oeuvre’s an open bar and a sit-down dinner with a raffle to follow. It is a great night out and you and your family can all qualify by volunteering 3 times during the year. You can go to the https://www.dc16iupat.org/get-involved/
Tab in the DC16 website to see what opportunities are available. Phone banking, precinct walks and even attending parades are all various ways to come out and get involved.
The Project Labor Agreement train is moving along, and your involvement can help us continue to bring more working hours for you and the rest of our membership.
I look forward to seeing more of you getting involved, Thank You in advance!!
