OAKLAND California Democrats are losing patience with a powerful labor ally just as a gubernatorial recall and contentious legislative primaries loom. The State Building and Construction Trades Council of California, known colloquially as "the Trades," has killed some of the Democrats’ most ambitious bills to tackle climate change and the state’s housing crisis, and lawmakers and others working on the issues are increasingly willing to voice their frustrations. The division...s in this deep blue state reflect an internal struggle Democrats nationwide will face as their environmental efforts run headlong into once-reliable union jobs. The standard line has been that the party and labor can accomplish shared goals together, such as moving fossil fuel workers into alternative energy jobs. But cutting-edge California, which often sets the tone for other states on green goals, is showing how complicated that path actually is. Tensions spilled into the open last month when Democratic state lawmakers joined a conservative Republican in opposing a bill that effectively would have required oil companies to use union labor. Lawmakers who opposed the measure worried it could benefit Trades members at the expense of displacing non-union oil workers. https://www.politico.com//california-democrats-are-reliabl

RAT WATERPROOFERS. He thought it was waterproofing issues, the contractor said of the staff member. I thought to myself, that’s not normal. He said Jose told him they pumped the pool equipment room so frequently that the building had to replace pump motors every two years, but he never mentioned anything about structural damage or cracks in the concrete above. The deepest puddle of standing water, according to the contractor, was located around parking spot 78 an area t...hat building plans show is located directly under the pool deck where in a 2018 inspection report, engineer Frank Morabito had flagged a major error in the original design that was allowing water intrusion and causing serious damage to the structural concrete slabs below. https://www.miamiherald.com//miami-b/article252421658.html

Defeat Trump.Defeat Trump.

The Trump administration has been a disaster for the labor movement and the middle class. Their attacks on unions and the working class by pushing Right to Work... (for less) has taken away more workers rights than almost any other previous administration. They want to break unions instead of building bridges that will sustain the American worker and their families! Together, united we must all stand together and VOTE LIKE YOUR JOB DEPENDS ON IT, because IT DOES. The Trump / Pence administration wants to destroy the Davis Bacon Act which would affect prevailing wage! Are you ready for a 60% pay cut? Without a prevailing wage rate, Local 11 members could see their wage and compensation package plummet anywhere up to 60%! Davis Bacon prevailing wage rates aren't only for union construction workers. Wage rates are set by a survey of actual wages and benefits paid to union and non-union workers. Without the Davis Bacon Act, construction workers would earn less, and more families would need some form of public assistance to supplement their income. GO VOTE!
