Dear
,
Construction work for Martinez USD, Palomar CCD, and other public works entities are about to become union-only. CFEC fights on your behalf, but we need you to be involved and let these elected officials know that Project Labor Agreements are harmful to their local workforce and businesses. Don't lose your right to fair and open competition!

Martinez Unified School District: The MUSD Board of Trustees voted 3-2 last week to bring back at their June 12
th
board meeting a discussion to begin "negotiating" a PLA. This decision was covered by local media which can be read
here
. Local big labor special interests have been working for more than two years to try and get Measure K placed under a PLA. What we need from you:
- Contact the Board today and express your position on PLAs to them.
- Tell Trustee Jonathen Wright he needs to recuse himself from voting on this issue due to his conflict of interest.
- Plan on attending the Board meeting on June 12th at 921 Susana St., Martinez, 94553.
- Contact the board with your position on PLAs today.
2. Attend the meeting and speak out
against
the PLA. The meeting will be held in room SSC-1 on San Marcos Campus, 1140 W Mission Rd., San Marcos.

California High Speed Rail: Governor Jerry Brown, when he's not insulting President Trump, is busy asking him for money for this train to nowhere. We aren't kidding.

This excellent editorial that appeared in the Orange County Register shows how Republicans can increase the amount of money going to infrastructure without having to increase taxes to do it. Of course one of those ways is to not place PLAs on the work.
