Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws
Dec. 28, 2012 | S.Amdt. 3376 to H.R. 1
This amendment by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (H.R. 1) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill.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.
