The regional planning board responsible for the infrastructure needs of San Diego County voted Friday to open negotiations with local labor leaders for an agreement that would ensure construction workers on future projects are paid union wages.
By a vote of 11-7, the board of directors of the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, agreed to enter into exclusive talks with the San Diego County Building and Construction Trades Council to adopt a “community benefits agreement.”
If adopted later this year, the community benefits agreement could affect billions of dollars in future transportation and other projects proposed by SANDAG, the regional board representing San Diego County and its 18 cities.

Vaccination Gaps Persist in Black, Hispanic Neighborhoods
As Travis County, Texas, aims to reach herd immunity levels for COVID-19, local researchers express concern that many economically disadvantaged communities are about six weeks behind in vaccinations.
July 22, 2021 • (TNS) As Travis County, Texas, continues to reach for herd immunity from the coronavirus, local researchers say that more efforts need to be focused toward neighborhoods in Austin s eastern crescent, where vaccine coverage lags by several weeks.
Spencer Woody, postdoctoral fellow for the University of Texas COVID-19 modeling consortium, said Austin s more economically disadvantaged areas have been affected the most, and continue to be, by the pandemic. The crescent spans north to south, east of Interstate 35, where many Black and Hispanic families live.

SANDAG’s board on Friday is expected to approve a project labor agreement platform affecting billions of dollars in future construction work in the region, but a group representing Black contractors is urging it to reconsider.
Members of the Black Contractors Association of San Diego rallied outside SANDAG headquarters in downtown San Diego Wednesday saying the platform would exclude Black Americans from future apprenticeship opportunities in construction. The association, part of the National Black Contractors Association, is the only state and federally approved apprenticeship program specifically for Black Americans.
A project labor agreement, sometimes called a community benefits agreement, involves a government reaching a collective bargaining agreement with labor organizations establishing terms and conditions of employment for a specific construction project.
