The bill only applies to counties, cities and special districts that have adopted a Civic Openness in Negotiating ordinance.
Well this right here tells you everything you need to know, that it is trough feeder/public union scam. If it was legit it would apply to ALL private sector contracts, not just muni’s where CON has been implemented.

Transparency in all matter pertaining to government should be the law. There are many great public servants, who are appalled at the waste of taxpayers dollars by management off loading jobs to private vendors. Remember private vendors make huge political contributions while costing taxpayers billions more than a reliable public servant.. If public servants speak up or question they are systemically run out of government, especially if they have been around for years and know where the bodies are buried. The only protection they have is their Union because there is a systemic cleansing going on to get rid of public servants who are appalled at the wasting of taxpayers dollars. Many of the contracts to private vendors are below the $250,000 mark so the public can be kept in the dark. There needs to be a complete audit of vendor contracts especially under $250,000. Start with Department of Corrections, Employment Development Department, and Department of Transportation. The media should track the whistleblowers and those fired from long term State Service. They’d be amazed at what they’d find out.

Not surprised the PE unions would be against this one.
Cockroaches always scurry away from the light.

The arguments in favor of this bill say they support transparency if it applies to private sector contract, not just public sector unions.
Well guess what, most if not all private sector contracts must follow “prevailing wage” which is no more than union wage which we all know is anywhere between 20 and 45% higher than “real” private sector wage and benefits . Think how additional savings on contracting by government agencies would say pave hundreds of miles of streets and highways.
