It is designed to be a Toolkit for implementing High Road labor standards, (or other creative policy and program designs to create “good” careers), in publicly-funded or subsidized residential building decarbonization programs in your region. This Toolkit is intended to support policy-makers, program designers, and program implementers in designing, launching, and leading High Road residential building decarbonization programs in the Bay Area, and beyond.  \nThe Partnership has been informed by working in close collaboration with many Official and Listening partners representing organized labor, union and non-union contractors, residential program administrators which include local governments, CCAs and RENS, and equity and building decarb experts. The Partnership’s Official Members include:  \n● Construction Trades Workforce Initiative  \n● BayREN  \n● Building Electrification Institute  \n● City of San Francisco: Environment Department  \n● City of Berkeley: Office of Energy and Sustainable Development  \n● National Association of Minority Contractors  \n● nomada coaching & consulting  \n● Revalue  \n● Rising Sun Center for Opportunity  \n● StopWaste  \n● Contractor Representatives:  \n○ Bear Mechanical  \n○ Enso Building Solutions  \n○ KelAire Heating & Cooling  \n○ West Coast Green Builders  \n● SMW Local 104 Representative  \nThe Partners recommend the use of High Road labor standards to improve job quality and equitable job access for contractors and workers as public funding increasingly drives efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings. By pairing these climate initiatives with High Road job quality standards, we aim to support the creation and expansion of high-quality jobs that not only meet the pressing demands of environmental sustainability but also offer stable, sustaining, and equitable career opportunities for priority workers.  \nResidential Building Decarbonization Job Quality & Labor Standards Toolkit · 3  \nOur Partnership recommends required or incentivized labor standards in each of the following categories:  \n● Fair Wages and Benefits, including wages, healthcare, and retirement  \n● Regional and Targeted Hire  \n● Compliance and Accountability  \n● Training, Certification, and Career Advancement  \nThe Partnership’s recommended labor standards for the residential decarbonization sector, approved in August, 2024, can be","cbCaif3Cd93JJjud","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif3Cd93JJjud","pdf",2006249,82,"English","# Introduction\n## Overview of the Partnership\n## What is the High Road?\n## Why Labor Standards?\n## What Defines a Quality Job in the Bay Area?\n## What is a High Road Residential Decarbonization Job?\n## What are the Criteria for a High Road Residential Decarbonization Contractor?\n## How to Support High Quality Jobs & Equitable Access for Small, Disadvantaged Contracting Businesses\n## Introduction to Partnership-Recommended Labor Standards\n## Partnership-Recommended Labor Standards\n## Fair Wage and Benefit Standards\n## Regional Hire Standards\n## Targeted Hire Standards\n## Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Standards\n## Compliance and Accountability Standards\n## Training and Certification Standards\n# Appendix A: Job Quality Definitions and Tools\n# Appendix B: How to Determine Prevailing Wage Rates\n# Appendix C: Contractor + Program Admin/ Implementer Reporting & Accountability Actions\n# Appendix D: Contractor Supports\n# Appendix E: Decarbonization Certification Inventory\n# Appendix F: Model Labor Standards\n# Appendix G: Labor Standards FAQ","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Job Quality and Labor Standards Toolkit?\",\"answer\":\"The Toolkit is an implementation resource for designing, launching, and leading high road residential building decarbonization programs, including for publicly funded or subsidized efforts.
