Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws

Jul. 10, 2014 | H.R. 4923
This amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to the Energy and Water Development Act, 2015 (H.R. 4923) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill.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.
