TranSystems Corporation - LGM Construction

“Notice to Tenant”
“It has come to our attention that you are contemplating construction activities on Port property.
That work is proposed to be conducted in proximity with and during the time that work is being
performed by the Port under the terms of a Project Labor Agreement (“PLA”) with the Building
and Construction Trades Council of Alameda County (“the Council”).
“As you know, the Council and its affiliated unions have a strong interest in the work that is done
on Port property and the contractors that are engaged to do the work. This is particularly true if
nonunion contractors are brought to the site. Disputes that one or more unions may have with
those contractors could be brought to the site and result in strikes, picketing or other forms of
disruption. Similarly, any strikes or economic action directed at union contractors during the
renegotiation of local collective bargaining agreements can also affect the labor stability for
union work on the project. The PLA immunizes us from the occurrence of such disputes directed
at our work. It cannot, however, insure that the occurrence of disputes directed at contiguous or
proximate work will not adversely affect Port work.
“Therefore, we ask that you give careful consideration to this potential for disruption on Port
property that may be caused by the work you undertake and urge that you further consider how
you will schedule work and select contractors to minimize this risk. You should know that the
PLA (or one like it) and the unique protections it affords can be extended to your work should
you choose to adopt it. Your choices in this regard are, of course, yours to make, but the
consequences can be significant for you and the Port.
“We would be pleased to discuss with you the concerns that we have raised here and the options
for addressing these concerns based upon our dealings with the interested unions. Regardless of
your conclusion, we would ask that you advise Ms. Cheryl Perry-League, the director of our
Office of Equal Opportunity, as to your decision. She may be reached at our headquarters: 530
Water Street, Oakland, CA 94607 or by telephoning 510-627-1417.”
