Interpipe Contracting, Inc. and the Associated Builders and Contractors of California Cooperation Committee, Inc. challenged SB 954, which amended the Labor Code to clarify that employers may take a wage credit to support their prevailing wage contributions to third-party industry advancement funds (“IAFs”) only if their employees consented to doing so through a collective bargaining agreement, on the alleged basis that the statute was unconstitutional.
On July 30, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal disagreed and upheld SB 954.
