HSR is central to our just & necessary transition to a green economy.
Thousands of jobs, *sustainably* & collaboratively building an electrified 200+ mph & 100% renewably powered train, one of the greenest modes of fast mass transportation on this earth. #CleanGreenHSR#BuildHSR
Aloha #caleg! Our sponsored bill AB 336 authored by @AsmCervantes and @AsmMeganDahle passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee and is headed to the floor. Prevent the fraud, protect the worker! #ironworkers
The commute to work never looked as good as @Caltrain & @ACE_train pass under newly constructed electrification poles & wires in downtown San Jose.
We invested $714 million of Prop 1A funds to electrify the corridor, which will reduce emissions in the surrounding communities.
“As California pivots towards substantial investment in renewable projects, we must embrace this as a tremendous opportunity to elevate tens of thousands of new workers into the middle class through our apprenticeship programs” https://t.co/6fYq6my1Ni

Iron Workers Local 118 Retiree’s Club formed a committee to create a mural in the hall depicting the past, present and future of Local 118. The 6-month long project was celebrated on Aril 13, 2018 with a ceremony that drew ironworkers and their families.
As always, it's important to support state apprenticeship programs that lead to well-paying permanent jobs and provide businesses with a skilled workforce. #apprenticeships#WorkforceDevelopment
A career in the #BuildingTrades means fair treatment and fair wages, while having an opportunity to use your skills to build the future of YOUR community 💪 #WICWeek2019
Highly questionable on “millions” of jobs that will be created by automation. However, these jobs will require higher skills & constant skill upgrades.
Labor will continue to fight for all jobs to pay fair wages w/ benefits & safe working conditions by organizing. New & old!
State, local governments/agencies, private industry adopt Community Workforce Agreements (PLAs) for skilled workers: local hire & union construction careers for disadvantaged groups, women, vets, justice involved, emancipated youth!
New 2019 laws will create more! #BuildUnion
