Description
Project Labor Agreements are facing new challenges, recent revisions to the Davis-Bacon Act have been rolled back, and rapid changes are happening across multiple agencies in an effort to cut government spending. At the same time, the current Secretary of Labor is considered one of the most pro-union in recent Republican administrations. This session will offer an up-to-date overview of publicly financed construction projects and provide insights into what contractors and compliance professionals can expect over the next three years.
