SANTA BARBARA – Determined to hammer home their point, non-union contractors in Santa Barbara County are turning up the heat opposing a work agreement being considered by Supervisors.
A half dozen were on hand at the Board’s meeting in Santa Maria Tuesday to express “concern” over the Construction Stabilization Agreement.
Contractors will take their case to the public Wednesday morning in a news conference at 11 a.m. at the County Administration Building.
The CSA was introduced by First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal February 16.
Carbajal said he’d done the research and that it would bring jobs to the Central Coast.
Local non-union contractors disagree.
They say most of those in support of the CSA last month were union contractors from Los Angeles.

Eighty-five percent of the contractors in Santa Barbara County are non-union and this agreement “will drive a nail in our coffin,” one man said.
Robin Hayhurst of the Santa Maria Valley Contractors Association told Supervisors she was suspect of the way in which the CSA was presented calling it a “sweetheart deal.”
