Blocking the Mandate for Union Labor Agreements on Federal Construction Projects.

This resolution aims to cancel a federal rule that required or strongly encouraged agencies like NASA and the Department of Defense to use specific collective bargaining agreements (PLAs) for major construction projects. If passed, the rules governing hiring and working conditions on these federal sites will become more flexible. This change could affect project costs and competition among construction companies bidding for government contracts.
Key points
Eliminates the requirement to use Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on large federal government construction projects.
Affects how federal agencies (DoD, GSA) contract and manage public infrastructure investments, potentially increasing competition.
