Welcome On behalf of our 27 affiliated unions of the Alameda Building & Construction Trades Council, we are so pleased to welcome you to our 49th Annual Holiday Luncheon. It is an honor for us to host the annual event that has been a great opportunity to network with many partners and friends as the Holiday Season kicks off. We truly hope that you enjoy this time together, and we look forward to our continued partnership with you in the coming year. This year, we are building our political strength by asking you to contribute to our PAC. The PAC will give us funds to support candidates and initiatives will carrying forward a vision for Alameda County that includes promoting good union construction jobs. In 2024, we must also ensure that Trump and his cronies do not return to the White House and Congress. We are also pleased that those of you who have supported our non-profit partner, the Construction Trades Workforce Initiative (“CTWI”), have the continued opportunity to do so. Beli Acharya and her team continue to lead as an innovative and effective organization focused on the apprenticeship “pipeline” to work for targeted and disadvantaged residents, so they are prepared for and linked to pre-apprenticeship services with placement into union apprenticeship programs. The political work we make happen in 2024 will pay off in seeing that pro Labor and Building & Construction Trades candidates are successful. We know that electing democrats who are committed to preserving our democracy, and to protecting workers’ rights is more vital than ever. To that end we welcome all the new candidates and officeholders; we look forward to working with all of you. We will partner with you and continue to inform you on the importance of promoting workers’ rights and Trade Unions. During the next year, with you, we will commit our work to investments in infrastructure, affordable housing, and renewable energy, all with union workers and strong labor standards, and to ensuring that there will be a qualified union labor force to build it. Specifically, our focus will also be on passing policies that will require union labor on the many private projects in Alameda County, the majority of which are currently being built without any labor standards and without worker representation. We truly thank you for your participation in this year’s Holiday Luncheon, and for your support of working families. It is great to see old friends and meeting some of you for the first time, and we hope that this event will be the start of a festive and healthy Holiday Season. Next year we will face many challenges together, so let us take strength in and celebrate our unity!
Happy Holidays!
