On Thursday, February 21, LAANE joined the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and its allies in rallying over 100 workers, activists and clergy at a meeting of the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). After hearing a broad range of testimony, the CRA Board of Commissioners approved the landmark Construction Careers and Project Stabilization Policy. This policy requires CRA-subsidized projects to hire more local and "at risk" residents from the communities in which the projects are built, while also standardizing a Project Labor Agreement to ensure that more of the jobs on those projects lead to middle-class, union careers.
