Amendment to Repeal Prevailing Wage Laws

Sep. 6, 2017 | H.Amdt. 296 to H.R. 3354
This amendment by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to the Make America Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 3354) would have repealed Davis-Bacon coverage for Department of Interior projects funded under this bill.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.
