Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws

Jun. 2, 2011 | H.Amdt. 386 to H.R. 2017
This amendment by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) to the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (H.R. 2017) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill. The Davis-Bacon Act requires companies to pay construction workers locally prevailing wages on federally funded projects. The amendment failed.

This is Bad for working people.
