In a transfer guaranteeing that final yr’s bipartisan infrastructure package deal will give much less bang for its trillion bucks, President Biden final Friday signed an govt order requiring each federally funded development job above $35 million in price to be ruled by a Challenge Labor Settlement — which is basically a license for labor-union blackmail.
Federal development is already coated by “prevailing wage” legal guidelines that impose “record” union pay charges (whilst union employees often conform to work for much less on personal tasks), markedly boosting prices. However Biden’s transfer provides to the markup.
A PLA entails the contractor negotiating every little thing with unions forward of time: pay, work situations, minimal qualifications for employees and extra, all the way down to what number of “espresso Sherpas” should be on web site. Unions use them to precise each potential benefit earlier than work may even start.
Biden pretends it’s a money-saver, simply as he calls his Afghan bugout an excellent success. Then why the necessity to power contractors to do it?
The White Home says the order will instantly cowl $262 billion in federal constructing contracts and practically 200,000 employees, however it can additionally hit new jobs begun beneath the trillion-dollar infrastructure regulation.
And far of the windfall for the unions will likely be spent on electing Democrats, as with nearly all union political spending — in order that the Dems can ship but more money the unions’ method; rinse and repeat. (This although union members have way more numerous views.)
It’s a Ponzi scheme exploiting the very taxpayers and employees whom Dems faux to serve.
