STATE BUILDING TRADES — 2014 LEGISLATIVE REPORT
The State Building Trades has issued its Legislative Report. This has been a good year for building trades workers.
Our union friendly policymakers continue to write great legislation and Governor Brown continues to sign bills
that directly benefit union construction workers. The following overview gives you an idea of the amount and
significance of Bills passed this year.
SB 785 (Wolk) — Extends until the year 2025, design-build
authority for counties, cities, special districts, transit districts and
consolidates the procurement statutes. Requires contractors and
sub-contractors at every tier to employ a skilled workforce defined
as journeypersons who have graduated from state approved
apprenticeship programs. Similar to SB 54, this bill requires the
percentages of a skilled workforce to be 20% in 2016, 30% in
2017, 40% in 2018, 50% in 2019 and 60% in 2020. (Signed by
Governor)
SB 1182 (Leno) — Health care cost increases are unsustainable
for our contractors, our members, and trust funds. SB 1182 will
require plans to provide our trust funds with information about
pricing to help us negotiate better rates for our members and
union employers. (Signed by Governor)
Assembly House Resolution 47 — Recognizes September
19, 2014 as National Tradesworker Day and honors the men
and women of the building and construction trades for their
contributions to the State of California and the nation. (Adopted,
June 30, 2014) SBCTC sponsored.
AB 155 (Alejo) — Provides the Monterey County Water
Resources Agency with design-build authority for a water transfer
project to connect the Nacimiento and San Antonio lakes and
requires a Project Labor Agreement with the Monterey County
Building and Construction Trades Council. (Signed by Governor)
SBCTC sponsored.
AB 1581 (Buchanan) — Clarifies that contractors must be prequalified when a school district utilizes the “lease-leaseback”
procurement method to deliver construction projects with financial
assistance from the state bond program. (Signed by Governor)
SBCTC sponsored.
AB 1870 (Alejo) — Reforms the Division of Apprenticeship
Standards’ (DAS) distribution formula to ensure labormanagement programs, which train and graduate the vast majority
of apprentices, receive the appropriate grant amounts and reduces
the allocations to non-union programs. (Signed by Governor)
SBCTC co-sponsored with the IBEW.
AB 1897 (Hernandez) — Establishes shared liability for wage
theft and workers compensation violations for certain employers
who hire temp agencies and utilize them to cheat workers and gain
an unfair advantage over law-abiding employers. With this law
California becomes the first state in the nation to enact significant
new protections for temporary workers. (Signed by Governor)
AB 2272 (Gray) — Specifies that public work for purposes of
the prevailing wage law also means infrastructure project grants
from the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) pursuant to
existing law. (Signed by Governor)
Transportation and Cap and Trade: High Speed Rail
Among the items included in the 2014-2015 state budget is a plan
for investing cap-and-trade revenues, including $250 million for
the construction and operation of the high-speed rail in the current
budget year, and 25 percent of ongoing cap and trade revenues
in future years. 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.
Prevailing Wage Enforcement The Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) within the Department
of Industrial Relations (DIR) exists solely to enforce prevailing
wage laws on public works projects. 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.

(continued from page 1)
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, specifically 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
benefits. 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

L to R: Son Austin, Wife Jamie, and Randy Farnham
Brothers and Sisters, it is with a sense of deep sadness that I share the passing of Brother
Randy J. Farnham. I first 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.

CONTRA COSTA ELECTIONS
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 officials in office 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
Page 4
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 significant 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
fight for our issues if elected.

YES Measure L
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.
