Today in #LaborHistory: Congress passes the Davis-Bacon Act, requiring that any new construction or repair of a public building or public works project of more than $2,000 that includes federal funding must pay the local prevailing wage. - March 3, 1931

New: The White House budget office is pushing federal agencies to use union project labor agreements, an unexpected move that will be a major win for organized labor and continue a Biden-era policy.

Canada: Yes to #PrevailingWage for improving Construction Industry

[CDN Building Trades @CDNTrades]

From banning replacement workers in federally regulated sectors to putting strong prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements in the tax code, millions of Canadian workers will benefit from these measures. @SeamusORegan @cafreeland

[BuildCentralOH @BuildCentralOH]

Prevailing Wage laws require contractors to pay construction workers at least the prevailing wages and benefits in the area where they are working. Prevailing Wages are the hourly wages, benefits and overtime to be paid to workers https://t.co/YzdrDi0SxS
