This will make all federal projects cost more as all contractors must use “prevailing wages” (ie union wages) for workers.
No longer can a non-union company have an advantage over a unionized company when bidding on a federal project.
Federal projects (and most public projects of any kind - state, city, county etc.) already require that prevailing wages be paid - that is the primary point of the Davis Bacon Act - and hence leads to my question...
What is the force of such a law when the President can sign an xord that says they have to use Union Labor anyway, even if the non-union contractor pays DB Wages?
I urge ALL to frequently check the “Presidential Actions” section of the now totally pukey monsterHouse website. Explore around the site for more coming misery and radical decisions that will be couched in spin and ooze in the pressers.

Anyone who was so vengeful, BDS-consumed, petty, selfish or stupid as to sit out or vote 3rd party in this election should be tarring, feathering, cursing, mutilating and punishing themselves for the next 8 years.
Anyone who fantasized that 0 wouldn’t be that different from Pres. Bush needs to be institutionalized and permanently removed from sane society.
