About the Project Stabilization Agreement

As part of our labor plan and strategy, the LAUSD Board of Education entered into the current PSA with the local building and construction unions in 1999. The PSA is intended to ensure labor harmony on our jobsites and provide a uniform labor relations framework for the various trades and unions during the project. Among the goals and objectives of the PSA are to prevent work stoppages or slowdowns, to encourage contracting with small businesses that reflect the diversity of Los Angeles, to hire local workers when possible, to provide a sufficient supply of skilled craft persons and to establish a standardized grievance/dispute resolution procedure(s) when matters do arise.
