In a
ground-breaking decision, Alameda Superior Court Judge
Robert Freedman ruled that the California Department of
Transportation and the California Department of
Transportation violated the law when they failed to require
and enforce the payment of prevailing wages for
MM&P-represented workers engaged in the construction, repair
and retrofitting of the Bay, Richmond-San Rafael and Benicia
Bridges. The Court issued writs of mandate against the state
agencies ordering that they comply with the law. The Court
also struck down a California regulation that would have
deprived all workers on California public works projects of
prevailing wages when they were working in new
classifications not previously recognized by the Department
of Industrial Relations.
