🚨 Gilbane Puts Profits Over People 🚨

As Richmond gears up to build its new ballpark, there’s a chance to secure real futures for local workers. A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) would guarantee:

✅ Fair wages and protections from wage theft
✅ Priority hiring for Richmond residents
✅ Training programs that turn short-term jobs into long-term careers in the trades

Richmond City Council supports a PLA. The Mayor’s office supports a PLA. Local unions and residents support a PLA. So why won’t Gilbane?

It’s time for Gilbane to invest in Richmond’s future—not just their own bottom line. Demand they negotiate a PLA today and protect our community’s workers!
