Bravo @jbpritzker.bsky.social - a true labor champion!
On his first day in office, Gov Pritzker ordered the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs), and later mandated prevailing wages on renewable energy projects.

POLITICO: Gretchen Newsom, a representative of #IBEW, said Democrats should focus on struggling working-class voters.
“Instead,” said Newsom, who is not related to the governor, “we’re doing this abundance theory that is abundantly going to abandon workers.”

Unions warned the governor was betraying his Democratic base. Gretchen Newsom, a rep of the #IBEW, said Newsom's stance was baffling to people "looking at the Dem Party and wondering what comes next...
"I see this as…devastating to workers all across California,"

When I asked Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social how he’d ensure lithium and geothermal projects create good local jobs, he stood #UnionStrong. Public investments must prioritize Union jobs with fair wages, respect, and benefits. #EconomicFairness @californialabor.bsky.social

The Trump administration is watering down apprenticeship standards - promoting fake apprenticeships like Dog Groomer Apprentice.
Stick with the gold-standard Building Trades UNION Apprenticeships - with $$$ wage progression, family medical care, pensions, quality training, and certifications!
