NECA Government Affairs Update
Take Action: Support Regulation to Require PLAs on Federal Construction Projects
| |
|
Take action today to support Executive Order 14063 (click link below) which requires the use of a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) for large scale federal construction projects. The regulation would require a PLA on projects where the total estimated cost of the construction contract to the Federal Government is $35 million or more, unless an exemption applies. NECA supports this regulation because a PLA guarantees an available supply of knowledgeable, well-trained labor. PLAs often include additional provisions such as: no-strike clauses, provisions for grievances and arbitration of disputes, trade jurisdictional issues, and constructive vehicles such as safety and labor management committees.
The Biden Administration is requesting feedback on the proposed rule and it is critical that we make our voices heard. Take Action today and visit NECA’s all new Legislative Action Center to submit your pre-written letter to the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council. If you have any questions or need additional information on this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Government Affairs team by contacting Jared Karbowsky at Jared.Karbowsky@necanet.org or Raley Wright at Raley.Wright@necanet.org.
