This ongoing source of permanent funding is a huge boost for this vitally important infrastructure project. It will accelerate the construction of the rail connection between the new Burbank transportation center and Palmdale, while simultaneously moving forward with the construction in the Central Valley, and also opening the real possibility of early construction to the northern metropolitan areas.

Since its inception in 2010, the CMU has suffered from inadequate funding due to its complicated funding mechanism. Governor Brown’s administration, working in collaboration with the State Building Trades, developed an alternative funding proposal within the state budget that will generate millions for the enforcement of prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements on all public works projects by establishing a $300 annual fee on all contractors seeking eligibility to bid on public works projects. The fee is expected to generate more than $20 million in prevailing wage enforcement funds. (Signed by Governor) SBCTC sponsored. STATE BUILDING TRADES — 2014 LEGISLATIVE REPORT

Court Construction - The state budget includes an augmentation of $40 million of one-time funds to the Immediate & Critical Needs Account for court construction and modernization projects. Also, specifi cally included another $50 million for the Sacramento courthouse.

Politics can be controversial and brutally frustrating; however, it is absolutely imperative that BAC members and other trades workers understand just how important it is to get out and vote for union friendly politicians and legislation. Anti-worker politicians continue to be successful in other States with right to work laws, lower wages and little or no benefi ts. We need to be cognizant and engaged on the issues that affect working people. The President of the State building Trades, Robbie Hunter, summed it up; “Political Participation Leads to a Better Life for Working Families.” If you’re not registered to Vote; get registered.

2014 LEGISLATIVE REPORT (continued)(continued from page 1)

RANDY J. FARNHAMby Gary Peifer

Brothers and Sisters, it is with a sense of deep sadness that I share the passing of Brother Randy J. Farnham. I fi rst met Brother Farnham in 1996 while enforcing the collective bargaining agreement on a project in Sacramento. Randy was the general superintendent on the job. He recognized the need to pull the men and he called the contractor to let them know he would not obstruct the Union. I would come to realize that this was not just an isolated incident, but a true testament of his character as a Union member. Joining BAC in February 1981 as a Journeyman Tilelayer and Marble Mason, he constructed many high quality projects throughout Northern California and Nevada. Randy also served in the capacity of Foreman, General Superintendent and Project Manager while employed by Signatories JD Ballard Tile, Western Tile & Marble, Capitol City Tile & Marble and Spectra CF. Retiring in 2012, he is survived by his children and wife Jamie, who is the Architectural Terra Cotta Manager for the Gladding-McBean Company. His skill as a craftsman and solidarity as a Union Brother will be remembered and missed. Our condolences to his family, may he rest in everlasting peace.

L to R: Son Austin, Wife Jamie, and Randy Farnham

All the endorsements are important; however there are few that stand out in Contra Costa. The Concord City Council is crucial due to the upcoming Concord Naval Weapons Station Development. This is the largest upcoming project in the County and we need our elected offi cials in offi ce to ensure our local union members get the opportunity to work in their community and under a PLA. Please vote for Tim Grayson and Ray Leone.

The West Contra Costa School District is a very important race. We need to get the three endorsed candidates elected to ensure the PLA continues. BAC members continue to perform work on numerous school projects throughout West County. Don’t forget to vote yes

on Measure M to create more work for the district.

Longtime friend of labor and former WCCSD board member Charles Ramsey is now running for the Richmond City Council. Having the votes on the Richmond Council is signifi cant due to Chevron and the upcoming work in Richmond.

Steve Glazer ran a nasty campaign, but was knocked out by Tim Sbrati in the Primary. Now Tim has a tough race against Republican Catharine Baker for State Assembly District 16, which includes East Contra Costa and the Tri-Valley Counties. Tim Sbrati will fi ght for our issues if elected.

SACRAMENTO’S MEASURE “L”Our Union has grown and evolved with the construction industry in the United States for the past 150 years. In keeping with our history of strong progressive leadership, the Management Committee of BAC 3 has endorsed “Measure L”, an initiative that will appear on the November election ballot in Sacramento. “Measure L” is designed to restructure the Sacramento City Government to allow key public issues to be addressed in a focused, timely manner; a change that will positively affect working families. We understand and respect your right to cast a vote based on the merit of any issue. With that in mind, we believe a more directly accountable form of government between the Mayor and the City Manager should be enacted in Sacramento. Therefore, we respectfully request your support with a YES Vote on Measure L as a BAC 3 member in Sacramento on Election Day.
