Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws
May. 31, 2012 | H.R. 5854
This amendment by Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) to the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2013 (H.R. 5854) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill.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.
