ABC to OMB: Prioritize Merit Shop Principles in Regulatory Reform

In response to a request from the Office of Management and Budget for stakeholder recommendations to cut federal red tape, ABC submitted a letter outlining arguments for rescinding 10 final rules promulgated by the Biden administration, including project labor agreement mandates, Davis-Bacon Act updates, overtime, independent contractor under the Fair Labor Standards Act, OSHA walkaround and the noncompete clause ban, as well as withdrawing the heat rule as proposed.
