Napa Project Labor agreements on the horizon!
On Tuesday October 15th, the delegates of the Napa/Solano Building Trades presented the benefits of a Project Labor Agreement to the Napa Board of Supervisors. The presentation was well received, and the Board agreed to schedule a 1 project test PLA for the County to see how things pan out before proceeding with a County Wide PLA.
We have proposed a city-Wide PLA to the city council and city staff in Napa and have answered their questions. We believe we will be getting approval soon to start negotiating a city-wide PLA. If all goes well, we should have a city-wide PLA and possibly a county-wide PLA approved by next year.
Napa has been a historically Non-Union city and County but through our efforts to get people elected that support our causes we now have changed the narrative and have support for PLA’s that will help bring more work locally for all members of the Building Trades.
Please get out to vote in the election on November 5th, below are a list of local candidates that we have interviewed, and we have endorsed and are pro Labor.
