Manufacturing Report – June 2025

Hello. I hope all is well with you and your families and you are staying safe. 

The Olympic P3030 bid process is currently underway, and Kinkisharyo is actively pursuing the contract. I will keep everyone updated as I receive more information. Hyundai has subcontracted Kinkisharyo to build the heavy rail trains for LA Metro, which will start in mid to late 2026. An ongoing lawsuit could make LA Metro rebid the contract, but for now everything is moving forward. Thank you to everyone who showed up for the May meeting. We had a great turnout and good dialogue. Remember, meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month. 

The Supervisor Association Metropolitan Water District “SAMWD” is continuing to work hard to finish up the last few items in the reopener, but as of right now are at a standstill and working on classification studies to try and improve work conditions and evaluate wages more accurately. 

At EAA we are still pushing forward on the organizing campaign to get the LA City Council aides the representation they deserve. We are still going through the hearing process but hope to hear something soon.
