City of San Jose:
On October 3rd the City of San Jose will hear a report from the committee that had been set up to study the PLA issue. The committee's recommendations actually only reflect the desires of Associated General Contractors (AGC) and the local building trade unions, which is another way of saying that non-union employers, workers, and apprentices have been sold out. AGC of California cares nothing for its merit shop contractors and if you belong to this organization you need to reconsider your membership. Where do we go from here? First we need all concerned contractors to contact two key city council members TODAY.
City of Sacramento: The new Mayor of Sacramento has a particular affection for big labor special interests and is currently pushing a PLA on at least two upcoming city projects. If you would like to be part of our effort to oppose this discrimination and waste please contact CFEC today.
City of Stockton
: Local union bosses felt compelled to respond to CFEC's Eric Christen and his editorial that ran in the city's largest newspaper with an editorial of their own. Sadly it was nothing but attacks on Eric and half-truths masquerading as facts. The PLA in Stockton has already been a failure for and no amount of alternative facts will be able to hide that fact.
City of Chula Vista:
The general contractor has been chosen for the Chula Vista Bayfront's Gaylord Convention Center project. That means a PLA. Time to go to war. Please contact CFEC today if you would like to be part of this effort.
