With a stroke of a pen, Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb signed an executive order ensuring labor unions would be part of all critical infrastructure projects in the City of Cleveland that cost $500,000 or more.“It's so important because we know that unions create good paying jobs for Cleveland residents,' Bibb said.Bibb said they have hundreds of millions of dollars planned for neighborhood development.
“We need people everywhere, and the volume of work that we're faced with in Northeast Ohio is unprecedented, so we're looking at a lot of work coming up,” Bibb said.Dave Wandolowski, with the Cleveland building trades, said the legislation the mayor signed would create a pipeline of work, making it sustainable to bring more workers into the trade. It begins with the apprenticeship program, most of which are 3 to 5 years.
