Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Workers and Supporters Celebrate Passage of CRA/LA’s Landmark Construction Policy April 23, 2008

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and over 100 workers, activists and clergy celebrated today’s approval by the Los Angeles City Council of the unprecedented “Construction Careers and Project Stabilization Policy.” The policy was created by the Community Redevelopment Agency of the City of Los Angeles (CRA/LA) in collaboration with the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE), the LA/OC Building and Construction Trades Council and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.   It will require most CRA/LA-funded projects to hire more local and low-income residents from the communities in which the project is being built and encourage partnership, through a Project Labor Agreement, between CRA/LA-subsidized developers and contractors and the Building Trades Council. more...

The March from “Hollywood to the Docks”

On April 15th to the 17th, actors, janitors, longshore workers, and many other workers along with members of the community will march 28 miles from Hollywood to the docks of San Pedro. For three days straight, these workers and community supporters will walk and camp-out overnight along the route. 

These individuals will symbolize over 350,000 workers who, this year, will be fighting to stay in the middle class or move themselves out of poverty. The march will conclude on April 17th with a massive rally at the Port of Los Angeles at 6:00 pm.

All along the route marchers will be talking the talk by walking the walk, talking to all of L.A. about the fight for middle class jobs, the battle to organize workers and the importance of voting in order to win the 2008 Fight for Good Jobs. Marchers will also be talking with voters about the issues facing the L.A. County Board of Supervisors Second District.

Hollywood to the Docks will come to symbolize the solidarity of working people from otherwise unrelated industries and sectors coming together behind a unifying principle: No local union affiliated with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor stands alone when facing the difficulties of negotiation, organizing or in electing candidates that fight for the cares of working men and women. Therefore, every local union, every rank-and-file union member and every ally and friend of L.A. Labor will be urged to join, participate and support the Hollywood-to-the-Docks march.

Join Us for this 3 day march from Hollywood to the Docks to honor the life of brother Bruce Gerometta.
