Ron Miller served as Executive Secretary of the Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council from 2012 to July 30, 2021. The Council represents 150,000 skilled construction workers in 14 Trades and 48 affiliated unions and district councils. 

In his nine years as LA/OC BCTC head, Miller led the negotiations for billions of dollars’ worth of Project Labor Agreements with public and private entities, which guarantee that a skilled and trained workforce from Building Trades affiliated unions will be on the job. The list includes the most high-profile public and private projects of the last decade, with many agreements renewing into 2025 and beyond to cover work in the future.

A chief priority for the Building Trades is to drive economic equity, by passing on skills to the next generation through apprenticeship, with outreach to diverse communities to join the Trades. Under Miller’s leadership, the Council created the nonprofit Apprenticeship Readiness Fund, which coordinates more than 15 grassroots programs that facilitate local residents’ entry to apprenticeship and lifelong Trades careers.
