Labor: Views Split On New Rule For Project-Labor Pacts

摘要

A final regulation implementing a February 2009 executive order en-couraging project labor agreements on big federal construction jobs drew criticism and praise. The Associated Builders and Contractors says the rule exceeds statutory authority, but the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Dept. supports the regulation. The rule, published on April 13, doesn't mandate PLAs but encourages agencies to consider them on projects of $25 million or more.
