A new project labor agreement (PLA) between the San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council (SFBCTC) and Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA) will create thousands of new jobs for members of 28 Bay Area unions.
The agreement announced earlier this month covers $4 billion worth of construction on the new downtown Transbay Transit Center that the council calls “The Grand Central Station of the West.” The center is expected to serve 45 million people a year using the region’s transportation system when the project is completed in 2017.
