Consider recommendations regarding the Development of a Countywide Community Workforce Agreement (CWA) Ordinance and Project Template

The Coalition for Fair Employment in Construction, in conjunction with local business groups, is working to inform ordinary households in Santa Barbara County about this threat to fiscal responsibility and local employment. Here are steps we are taking to alert the public:

• Radio Ads: running on local stations all day long for five days
• Mailers: sent to tens of thousands of voters
• Phone Calls: tens of thousands of residents are receiving them to encourage them to call their Supervisors
• Text Messages: sent to tens of thousands of County residents starting today
• Website: view it at KeepSantaBarbaraCountyFiscallyResponsible.com 
• Social Media Ads: running on Facebook
• Radio Interviews: local talk radio stations
• Commentaries: local newspapers
