SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The Chargers and leaders of the San Diego Building and Construction Trades Council are scheduled Friday morning to announce a project labor agreement for a proposed downtown stadium and convention center annex.
PLAs spell out terms for employing workers on a major project, such as compensation and hiring local tradesmen.
Supporters of such arrangements say PLAs ensure quality work and labor peace, usually meaning a job will be completed on time. Opponents contend they effectively shut out non-union shops and increase a project's price tag.
The council, an umbrella group for construction unions, will also announce its endorsement of the team's proposed ballot measure, which would help fund the project.
