AGC lawsuit found baseless, judge rules that PSA does not discriminate against non-union contractors
A Superior Court ruling upholding the legality of the San Diego school district’s Project Stabilization Agreement is a victory for efforts to revive the economy through creation of local jobs.
In a ruling issued December 12, the court held that the PSA, an agreement between San Diego Unified School District and local building trades unions, is legal and is not discriminatory against nonunion contractors. The court flatly rejected a lawsuit filed by the Associated General Contractors of America.
The PSA ensures that the investment of public dollars to build and renovate schools will also create local jobs that that lead to middle-class careers. It includes provisions to place local residents in apprenticeship jobs.
