THEY’RE BAAAACK: PLAs Return to Haunt Non-Union Contractors.
Source: Federal Employment Law Articles
On April 13, 2010, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Council released a final rule implementing President Obama’s Executive Order 13502, which encourages federal agencies to use Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on federal construction projects valued at $25 million or more. EO 13502, which was actually issued on February 6, 2009, repealed President Bush’s Executive Orders 13202 and 13208, which in turn declared that neither the federal government, nor any agency acting with federal assistance, shall require or prohibit construction contractors to sign union agreements as a condition of performing work on government construction projects. It is estimated that, in the eight years it was in existence, President Bush’s EO 13202 caused at least $147.1 billion worth of federal construction projects to be competitively bid without discrimination against non-union contractors.
