Why Does It Matter?
At the heart of our city, the leaders of the Columbus region have set their sights on a groundbreaking $2 billion project that could reshape the future of our community. However, a critical issue is the absence of fair wages and benefits for our skilled local construction workers. It’s time to ensure that the growth of our city benefits every resident, creating opportunities and lifting the entire community.
What We Demand?
A Community Benefits Agreement
Columbus’s hardworking tradesmen and tradeswomen urge the Columbus Regional Airport Authority to adopt a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). This agreement ensures that local construction workers receive fair wages with benefits, including the opportunity for paid apprenticeship training for our fellow residents on this massive $2 billion public project.
This project must not be tainted by greed; instead, it should be a beacon for creating livable middle-class jobs that sustain our community for years.
What You Can Do?
Contact the Columbus Regional Airport Authority
We deserve better, and our city leaders know it. The Franklin County Commissioners and members of the Columbus City Council have already taken action by sending letters to the CRAA, urging the adoption of responsible contracting policies on the terminal project. Now it’s our turn to make our voices heard.
Join us in calling on the Columbus Regional Airport Authority to prioritize the well-being of our community. Together, we can ensure that this project becomes a source of pride and prosperity for every resident of the Columbus region.
