The head of California’s powerful building and construction trades union says plans are in the works to retool and refit hospitals, hotels and buildings the state needs as a surge response to the coronavirus pandemic
OAKLAND — The head of California’s powerful building and construction trades union says plans are in the works to deploy tens of thousands of construction workers to retool and refit hospitals, hotels and buildings the state needs as a surge response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The building industry was initially concerned that Newsom's order would stop construction sites in their tracks after Newsom provided few details Thursday night on how specific industries would be affected.applies to all workers “except as needed to maintain continuity of operation of the federal critical infrastructure sectors, critical government services, schools, childcare, and construction, including housing construction.
The union has mandated that its members maintain social distance, bring their own lunch and prepare to dine alone — not in groups or in gatherings at food trucks. Construction sites that are too compact, close to the public or congested in urban areas “should be closed down,’’ Hunter said. But Brooks is still on edge. “I think things are going to change again,” Brooks said. “They seem to be changing virtually hourly and nobody knows anything. That’s the biggest problem.”
