"As the grandson of steelworkers and farmworkers, and the son of a mechanic and a school teacher, I could not be more proud of this historic partnership between American business and labor to build the next great American city."
"This is a project where a worker can start as an apprentice, work their entire career, and retire all while living in the community they helped build, he said. This agreement sets a new national gold standard for how private investment and organized labor can work together to build a better future."
California Forever signed a 40-year construction labor agreement with the Napa/Solano Building Trades Council and the Northern California Carpenters Union covering nearly 70,000 acres. The agreement requires union labor for all infrastructure, public works, major commercial, office, retail, industrial, defense, and energy projects on that land through individual Project Labor Agreements. California Forever CEO Jan Sramek said the pact could revive California's spirit of innovation and renew the middle class and referenced his working-class family background. Ron Rowlett of the Northern California Carpenters Union said the project supports apprenticeship-to-retirement career paths and called the agreement a national gold standard. California Forever did not provide the agreement copy to the Reporter before press time.
