Irvine construction workers may have a better chance of getting work locally, if they’re part of a union, after Irvine city councilors voted unanimously on June 13 to adopt an agreement with an organization that represents 48 local unions in 14 trades.
The agreement will prioritize the hiring of local Irvine residents for construction projects in the city that are estimated at over $500,000, as well as outlaw construction companies from not following workplace standards.
