FAIR AND OPEN COMPETITION ACT INTRODUCED

摘要

Representatives Ted Budd (R-NC) and Francis Rooney (R-FL) and Senators Todd Young (R-IN) and David Perdue (R-GA) have introduced the Fair and Open Competition Act (H.R 1858/S. 907), which would ensure that the federal government cannot mandate project labor agreements (PLAs) on federal projects, thereby increasing competition and lowering construction costs for taxpayers. When the government mandates that a PLA is used on a federal or federally assisted construction project, workers that chose not to join a union, and open shop contractors, are essentially prevented from working on that project. Over 86% of the private construction workforce in America does not belong to a union.
