Gov. Gavin Newsom threw his support behind San Diego's Measure D Thursday, a ballot measure that would eliminate the city's ban on the use of Project Labor Agreements — or PLAs — on city construction projects.
Governor Gavin Newsom speaks at 211 San Diego, while standing in front of state Senator Toni Atkins on Friday August 9, 2019.
PLAs are collective bargaining agreements between contractors and labor organizations establishing the terms and conditions of employment for specific construction projects. Proponents say lifting the PLA ban would keep San Diego from losing out on state funds for infrastructure, as state funding is not allowed on local construction projects in cities prohibiting PLAs.
They also argue the measure would discriminate against the majority of local construction workers because they are not union members.
