The Jon P. Preciado Training Center is NOW OPEN in Phoenix, Arizona!It’s the newest campus of the Laborers Training School and a major investment in the future of Arizona’s workforce. This state-of-the-art facility represents more than training. It represents opportunity. It represents access to the middle class. It represents union careers built to last a lifetime.Named in honor of our SCDCL Business Manager Jon P. Preciado, this center reflects his longstanding commitment to raising standards, expanding opportunity, and strengthening the pathway to union careers for working families.
SCDCL brought leadership together from across the region to support Assemblymember Phillip Chen and reinforce a relationship that puts our members to work and keeps our state moving forward. This is what it looks like when leaders work together alongside our District Council and Union to create opportunity, and keep our members working and our state moving forward.
SCDCL, our organizers and members continue to stand together at city councils and planning commissions to support projects that move forward and put our members to work. Our consistent presence, engagement, and advocacy help turn proposals into approvals. This is how projects get passed and how opportunities for our members grow!
SCDCL joined Local 777 with our organizing team for foundation training focused on strengthening solidarity and engaging our members. These conversations are about understanding who we are, how we got here, and where we’re going together.We were joined by Ernesto J. Ordoñez, LIUNA Pacific Southwest Regional Manager, and Victor M. Gordo, Business Manager and Secretary-Treasurer of LIUNA Local 777 and Mayor of the City of Pasadena, who spoke directly with our public employee members.
