Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws
Jul. 13, 2016 | H.Amdt. 1330 to H.R. 5538
This amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to the Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Act, 2017 (H.R. 5538) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for projects funded under this bill.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.
