We were devastated to learn that Tony Skinner passed away yesterday. We didn’t just lose a labor leader, we lost a champion for working families. The Central Coast is indebted to him for his tireless efforts in creating and sustaining livable wage jobs through the Project Labor Agreements he relentlessly fought for. We will miss his passion for his members and his leadership at ACE Charter High School which prepares our youth for careers that sustain our community and our economy. Our labor movement just lost one of our loudest voices. Our thoughts are with Tony's family and friends and the brothers and sisters of IBEW Local 952. Rest in peace, brother.
RIP Tony Skinner
