The Oakland Athletics have reached a labor deal for the construction of their proposed $1.5 billion stadium near the Las Vegas Strip, vowing to create 10,000 prevailing wage jobs for workers based in Southern Nevada.
The deal was reached with the Southern Nevada Building Trades — a coalition of local unions ranging from iron workers to electricians and other industrial trades, according to a news release from the A’s. Details of the agreement were not provided.
“We are thrilled to have reached this agreement with the A’s which will ensure that our members have access to good-paying, union jobs on this important project,” Vince Saavedra, executive secretary treasurer of Southern Nevada Building Trades, said in a statement.
