| YOUR PAYCHECK AND PREVAILING WAGES |
 The Davis Bacon Act and state prevailing wage laws ensure that when you build our nation’s roads and bridges you are paid at least a local prevailing rate of pay for the work you do. With our roads, bridges and water systems falling into disrepair, there is plenty of work to do. But some members of Congress and state politicians want to roll back prevailing wage rules so that you do it for less – as much as 70% less on your paycheck.
See LIUNA General President Terry O’Sullivan’s message and get involved with your union to protect your wages and benefits. |
