⚡ The workforce building America's nuclear future is ready — capable, experienced, and proven on some of the most complex projects in the country. And now, we’re making it even stronger.

Bechtel and North America's Building Trades Unions (NABTU) announced a new partnership to advance and modernize apprenticeship programs — ensuring they continue to align with nuclear power’s next fleet of reactors.

Nuclear construction demands precision, safety, and the highest quality standards, and together, Bechtel and NABTU have delivered it. From Vogtle Units 3 and 4, the first new nuclear reactors built in the U.S. in more than 30 years, to recently beginning construction on the Natrium® Demonstration Project, we've spent more than a century building America's most critical energy infrastructure together.

🗣️ As Brendan Bechtel put it: "Delivering nuclear power plants requires exceptional craft expertise and a deep commitment to safety and quality...This agreement strengthens our collaboration with NABTU and ensures apprenticeship programs continue to develop the number of craft professionals needed to supply this growing market as well as passes on the specialized knowledge and skills required to safely deliver these projects."

The next era of nuclear is here. And so is the team to build it. 💪

The Tri Counties Building & Construction Trades Council proudly endorses Prop 50.

The following information can be found on: https://cadem.org/yes-on-proposition-50-faq/

California voters have the opportunity to fight back against the Republican cuts to healthcare, the rising cost of living under tariffs, and the cruel abductions and forced removals of immigrants.

Proposition 50 is a direct response to a Republican power grab orchestrated by President Trump and state leaders in Texas, who redrew Congressional district lines to gain five more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Proposition 50 proposes new lines for many of California’s 52 congressional districts, which would negate the five Republican seats drawn by Texas. Under the proposed lines, Democrats could gain up to 5 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. With a majority in the House, Democrats can fight back against Trump and Republicans’ MAGA agenda.

The proposition includes several key provisions and will be placed on the ballot through a special election on November 4th. Proposition 50:

LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD. Prop 50 makes sure the 2026 mid-term elections are conducted on a level playing field without an unfair advantage for Republicans.

COMMITS TO FAIR REDISTRICTING. Prop 50 reaffirms California’s commitment to independent redistricting and calls for a nationwide commitment to fair and impartial maps.

GIVES VOTERS THE POWER. Prop 50 puts the power in the hands of the People of California, not backroom politicians, to approve emergency congressional district maps in response to Trump’s election rigging scheme.

IS FAIR AND PROPORTIONAL. Prop 50 provides emergency maps only because Republicans moved forward with their power grab.

IS TEMPORARY. These maps expire in 2030. Prop 50 preserves California’s award-winning redistricting reforms and reaffirms the California Citizens Redistricting Commission’s authority to draw congressional districts after the next census.

Fight Back and VOTE YES on Prop 50!
