Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws

Feb. 19, 2011 | H.Amdt. 169 to H.R. 1
This amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (H.R. 1) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill.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.
