SUB-BIDS REQUESTED PIONEER COURTHOUSE SQUARE RENOVATION WATERPROOFING DESIGN-ASSIST INSTALLATION SUBCONTRACTOR Bid Date: July 12, 2016 @2PM Voluntary Pre-Bid Meeting Date: June 28, 2016 10:00AM Description: Voluntary Pre-Bid Meeting It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working in the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held belief that workers deserve a “family wage” - fair pay for an honest day’s work. A family wage, and the beneits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more responsive to their citizens’ needs. Our family wage agenda relects our commitment to people working in the building trades, and to workers everywhere. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream. This dream that workers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs.
