Brothers and sisters,

We have great news to share! Salinas & Monterey County has its First school district under a PLA contract. This means victory for our members.

 A project labor agreement (“PLA”) is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that establishes terms and conditions of employment for construction projects. ( PCC § 2500.) Upon majority vote, the Board may enter into or require contractors to enter into a PLA. (PCC § 2501.) This PLA, titled the Project Stabilization Agreement, will apply to all District construction projects greater than $400,000. The initial term of the PLA is for five years.

 Motion & Voting

The Superintendent recommends the Board approve the Project Stabilization Agreement and Side Letter with Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties Building and Construction Trades Council.

Motion by Diego J Sandoval, second by Elva Arellano.

Final Resolution: Motion Passes

Yes: Elva Arellano, Diego J Sandoval, Sarah Turner, Sunil Patel, Cindy Lopez
