LABOR RELATIONS

agreements for union members, and general labor relations for open shop members. The
committee is responsible for AGC participation on the various Taft-Hartley Fringe Funds, and
the various Joint Apprenticeship and Training committees.
LABOR NEGOTIATIONS
CHAIRPERSON
JOHN H. DALEY, JR.
Coffman Specialties, Inc.
AGC San Diego represents AGC members signatory to eight separate union collective bargaining agreements. In 2016,
seven of the eight agreements expired, and new agreements were negotiated. Over 40 AGC members and staff spent
several months negotiating the various agreements. The agreements are recognized as the Master Labor Agreements in
San Diego County, and typically set the county’s prevailing wage.
FRINGE BENEFITS TRUST
AGC represented members on a number of Taft-Hartley joint labor management health, pension, apprenticeship, and other
trusts that are part of the union collective bargaining agreements. In these challenging economic times, AGC works with
the trustees to ensure proper funding. AGC was successful in working with AGC of America and the Building Trades to pass
federal legislation improving the stability of multi-empl oyer pension trusts. These changes prevent pension trusts from
insolvency and taxpayer bailout, while reducing liabilities to contractors.
CONTRACTS & WAGE RATES
All AGC Master Labor Agreements (MLA) and wage/fringe information
are available at agcsd.org. All contracts are indexed to assist in finding key
provisions, and can be downloaded.
PREVAILING WAGE / LABOR
COMPLIANCE ASSISTANCE
AGC provided assistance with Prevailing Wage/Davis Bacon compliance and
interpretation throughout the year. Several AGC staff members have strong
backgrounds and understanding of these very complex and often confusing
laws. AGC also maintains a strong relationship with the Department of
Industrial Relations, which oversees the prevailing wage laws.
AGC ASSISTS MEMBERS WITH
PICKETING / DUAL GATE
A number of unions continue to target both AGC union and non-union
members with picketing and demonstrations. AGC staff assists members
with dual gates and other methods that eliminate or limit the picketing.
AGC staff visits projects, contacts unions, and provides direct “front line”
help with these situations.
