L.A. County Board of Supervisors Green Light First Countywide Labor Agreement

LOS ANGELES —The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Feb. 28 approved a motion authored by Supervisor Kathryn Barger and co-authored by Supervisor Janice Hahn that will result in the county achieving an agreement with trade and union entities that will bring thousands of trade and skilled labor jobs to Los Angeles County.

The countywide community workforce will be effective for five years and will apply to L.A. County projects that have a minimum construction contract value of $5 million. 

Local unions will be required to provide project contractors who enter into a business agreement with Los Angeles County with sufficient qualified local and targeted workers to meet the new labor requirements established by the agreement.
