Unions protest county labor ordinance
November 3rd, 2009, 10:59 am, posted by Jennifer Muir

Union supporters filled the seats at today’s county supervisors meeting to protest a new ordinance that bars the county from requiring union agreements  on county construction projects.

The ordinance barring so-called project labor agreements, which supervisors had to consider a second time today before it could become law, doesn’t actually change county policy. But Supervisor John Moorlach proposed formalizing the policy to make it more difficult to reverse by future boards of supervisors.

Still, about 100 union supporters rallied before the meeting and filled the seats of the supervisors meeting to protest, arguing that such agreements ensure high-quality, on-time results and good working conditions for construction workers.

“This ordinance is a direct slap in the face, showing absolutely no respect to the workers of Orange County,” said Jim Adams, a representative for the LA/OC Building & Construction Trades Council. “It’s a bold political move.”

Supervisors last week approved the ordinance, saying it levels the bidding process and that project labor agreements unfairly favor unions. They upheld that decision today with another unanimous vote.

“The issue is that it’s not an ordinance that’s anti-union, it’s an ordinance that’s anti-union imposition,” Moorlach said. “We’re just saying level the playing field, let everyone bid and take the best one for the job.”
