NO on PROP 45

Prop 45 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Titled “Building an Affordable California Act”, It was introduced by the California Chamber of Commerce, which represents developers, non-union contractors, and major corporate interests. What they say is, it is meant to Reduce bureaucratic delays, lower costs, and build infrastructure faster. In reality, it destroys any guarantee of prevailing wage, threatens long-standing labor protections by making them severable, & silences workers voices by preventing them from participating in the discussion of critical projects.

Prop 45 is an attack on our jobs, safety and our families. Anti-union corporations say this will make it cheaper to build. Sure, buy allowing them to slash wages and benefits and keep the profits. The future of the middle-class is at stake, we can’t sit this one out. Talk to your coworkers, families and friends about making a plan to vote in  this Novembers election. This is a State Wide Ballot measure so anyone that lives in California will have this on their Ballot. We Cannot let this pass!

Prop 45 is a threat to our Union and every craft within the Building Trades. If passed it will:

• Threaten Union jobs across major industries and infrastructure projects.
• Silence our Unions
• Strip local agencies of their discretion to consider job quality and workforce standards.
• Allows labor protections to be struck down by anti-worker legal challenges, while making it impossible for the State Legislature to repair the damage. 

Please join us, and Union Construction workers across the State in voting NO on prop 45 this November.
