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.

San Diego Unified School District officials announced Thursday that the district will pilot a “Boost Democracy” texting initiative for public participation during school board meetings.
The program, which starts Tuesday, will allow community members who plan to remotely participate in school board meetings to sign up to receive texts alerting them when it’s time for their public comments.
It is one of the first such initiatives in the nation, said Shane Harris, the president of the People’s Association of Justice Advocates who pitched the idea. He also is urging the San Diego City Council, the County Board of Supervisors, and the County Board of Education to adopt this text message feature.
