A diverse coalition of construction industry associations and employer groups led by ABC
sent a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives April 13 opposing government-mandated project labor agreements and anti-competitive PLA preferences used by federal agencies as a result of President Obama’s pro-PLA Executive Order 13502 and related regulations. The letter asks lawmakers to cosponsor the Government Neutrality in Contracting Act (
H.R. 1671) which was introduced by Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) and has been referred to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
ABC previously issued a press release in support of the bill which can be
found here.
In addition, the coalition and ABC also
sent a letter in February supporting the Senate’s version of the Government Neutrality in Contracting Act (
S.71), introduced in January by Sen. David Vitter (R. LA.).
