Recently, AGC sent a letter opposing the possible use of a project labor agreement (PLA) mandate posted by the Pacific Naval Facilities Engineering Command for the construction of a multi-story replacement clinic to provide primary medical and dental care at the Marine Corps Base in Honolulu, Hawaii.
AGC neither supports nor opposes contractors’ voluntary use of PLAs on government projects, but strongly opposes any government mandate for contractors’ use of PLAs. AGC is 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.
Visit AGC’s Legislative Action Center to write to your members of Congress urging their support of legislation that ensures that government agencies remain neutral in PLA decisions.
