A great victory!
Last night the City of Vista joined the Vista Chamber of Commerce and the Vista Unified’s Citizens Bond Oversight Committee in opposing ay Project Labor Agreement (PLA) that Vista Trustees bring forward. On a 3-2 vote and thanks to the leadership of Councilmen John Franklin and Joe Green, local big labor special interests (who showed up to the meeting in force and who acted rudely) were defeated. The winners? Taxpayers, workers and students.
Tomorrow, Thursday, September 12th, the Vista Unified School District Board of Trustees will be voting whether or not to “negotiate” a union Project Labor Agreement (PLA) with local union bosses for the District’s $247 million school construction bond.

Encourage them to keep their current bidding process as is, a process that has proven itself over time and is not in need of this “solution” in search of a problem.
