On Dec. 19, Â鶹ÊÓƵsent two letters opposing government-mandated project labor (PLA) inquiries posted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The USACE Wilmington District sought industry comments on two possible PLAs for projects at Fort Bragg, N.C. The jobs are for the construction of two battalion headquarters and company operations facilities.
Â鶹ÊÓƵneither supports nor opposes contractors’ voluntary use of PLAs on government projects, but strongly opposes any government mandate for contractors’ use of PLAs. Â鶹ÊÓƵis committed to free and open competition for publicly funded work, and believes that the lawful labor relations policies and practices of private construction contractors should not be a factor in a government agency’s selection process.
