Strong Labor Standards
“We will strengthen labor standards that guarantee livable wages, apprenticeship utilization, and safe job sites on every public project, raising the bar for how workers are treated and how tax dollars are spent.”
Accountability & Oversight
“We will implement real accountability and transparent oversight to ensure public contracts go to responsible contractors, not bad actors, while tracking how every tax dollar supports housing, workforce development, and local economic impact.”
Youth & Apprenticeship Pathways
“We will expand access to registered apprenticeships and recognized pre-apprenticeship programs that provide clear, debt-free pathways to careers in the trades, especially for youth, justice-impacted individuals, and underrepresented communities, while connecting this pipeline to urgently needed housing and infrastructure projects.”
Anti-Wage Theft & Worker Protection
“We will advance ordinances that crack down on wage theft, enforce labor law compliance, and protect workers from retaliation, ensuring every paycheck earned is a paycheck received.”
Veterans First in Public Projects
“We will adopt “Veterans First” policies that prioritize veteran employment and training on publicly funded construction projects, giving back to those who have served by opening doors to family-supporting careers.”
