"This legislation would extend prevailing wage beyond an actual construction job site, something that is not currently in place anywhere else in the law today, and it would do it on publicly funded housing. At a time when housing stock is low and prices are high, this is exactly the wrong policy to take up." https://lnkd.in/eQjTzAVX #ABCMeritShopProud

"New White House regulations on prevailing wages, apprenticeship programs and project labor agreements for federal and federally assisted construction projects disproportionately benefit unionized workers and contractors. Consequently, nearly 8 out of 10 of Pennsylvania’s construction workers, who have consistently delivered high-quality roads, bridges and schools without union affiliation, are sidelined." https://lnkd.in/evRQssqF #ABCMeritShopProud

Today and every day, we honor and thank the individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. #MemorialDay
