With a rich history spanning over a century, this management group represents 40 experienced mechanical, plumbing, and service contractors who have been instrumental in building the Bay Area, particularly Silicon Valley. Specializing in high-density, sustainable housing projects with prevailing wage requirements or project labor agreements, these professionals are well-versed in the specific design and construction needs of Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, and Contra Costa Counties.Generated from the website

Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) negotiates and administers maritime labor agreements with the International Long shore and Warehouse Union (ILWU). PMA s 71 members are cargo carriers, terminal operators and stevedores that operate along the U.S. West Coast. The PMA and the ILWU are in a six-year labor contract, subject to ratification by the memberships of both parties. During the ratification process, the ILWU and PMA have agreed to extend the previous agreement which dates to 2002. West Coast port operations (including non-containerized cargo such as bulk and autos) now support 8 million U.S. jobs and contribute 11 percent of the U.S. GDP. The domestic business impact of West Coast port trade is $1.3 trillion - roughly equivalent to the GDP of Canada or Mexico.
