Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Name <br />Thomas Drennan <br />Email <br /> <br />Address <br /> <br />Santa Ana, California 92701 <br />United States <br />Map It <br />Who is this message for? <br />• Mayor Valerie Amezcua <br />• Councilmember Benjamin Vazquez <br />• Councilmember Jessie Lopez <br />• Councilmember Phil Bacerra <br />• Councilmember Johnathan Ryan Hernandez <br />• Councilmember David Penaloza <br />Comments or questions <br />I represent 20,000 Memembers of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 12. IUOE Local 12 is also a Trade Union <br />part of the OC/La Building Trades. I am respectfully requesting that the City Council postpone the agreement with Bristol <br />Related, and allow more time for an agreement to be reached. The day of hand shake deals and giving my word as being golden <br />are over. Without an agreement local hire, Helmets to hats, and MC3 requirements will not be able to be met. Many Local trade <br />Unions will not even be on the job site. 2 trade Unions will monopolize the work and will not pay area standards. <br />Some may say this is not our fight or not our problem. you may be right. When it is not our fight and not our problem and people <br />call on the Building Trades or Local 12, We come running and do what we can. We never leave our friends standing alone. <br />Take a look at OC V!be. a 6 Billion dollar private money project (very similar) just like this one has an agreement, right down the <br />road. why the different standard? Why allow such a different standard or different set of rules on this project? it makes no sense <br />to let so many Trade Unions with Local Hire apprentices, veterans, and Journey persons miss out on this opportunity to work on <br />such a great project in such a great project <br />Thank You <br />Thomas Drennan <br />
