PLA project approved

Hello Members,

On Tuesday February 4^th, myself and Building Trades representatives attended the Napa County Supervisors meeting and spoke in favor of a PLA pilot project in the County of Napa. The supervisors unanimously approved a 50-million-dollar tenant improvement project which will be the test of our already successful agreement that is used in several cities in Solano County. 

Napa has traditionally been an area where nonunion contractors did most of the work. Through Building Trades and Central Labor Council efforts during the election season, we were able to get Labor friendly Supervisors elected that support our PLA’s. The work we have done during election time has put us in the place to get this project approved which will bring work for our members in Napa County. We look forward to putting members to work locally and showing the Board of Supervisors that passing this pilot project was beneficial to the County. This project can lead to a full county-wide Project Labor Agreement once completed.
