#LIUNA Midwest Region was the most active proponent of HB 1189, signed into law today by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (sponsored by Rep. Jay Hoffman & Sen. Chris Belt). This change will make sure that the highest wages are paid on federally-funded construction projects.

#DavisBacon & #PrevailingWage laws protect all workers against exploitation.

#PrevailingWage #DavisBacon means #FairPay for real work, based on local standards for wages, benefits & training. You already know who wants these laws gone. It's low-road contractors & anti-worker politicians.
Don't let them get away with it! bit.ly/4ktdjWV
#LIUNA
👷♂️ Think of your #DavisBacon Wages as a #construction minimum wage based on area standards.
Changes to how that minimum wage is calculated—like using Bureau of Labor Statistics, instead of US DOL's current 3-step process (that counts our total package)—could mean deep cuts to your paycheck.
Prevailing wage is the real local rate—wages, benefits & training—that must be paid on government-funded projects. Shady contractors & corporate politicians are seeking to dismantle #DavisBacon & #PrevailingWage laws.
Don't let them take away YOUR hard-earned pay! bit.ly/4ktdjWV
#LIUNA
#DavisBacon wages don't just pay our members better. It's an important tool to prevent non-union contractors from undercutting our signatories & exploiting construction workers. Without Davis-Bacon, it would be a race to the bottom, with only unscrupulous contractors winning. #LIUNA
👷♂️ #DYK: #DavisBacon Wages don't just pay us @weareliuna.bsky.social members better.
They're also a tool to prevent non-union contractors from undercutting our signatories & exploiting construction workers.
W/O Davis-Bacon, it'd be a race to the bottom, w/only unscrupulous contractors winning.
It’s time to speak up about #DavisBacon & #PrevailingWage laws. Why? Because they're no longer guaranteed. Corporate politicians & shady contractors are looking for ways to weaken & dismantle these laws.
It's time to fight back! bit.ly/4ktdjWV
#FairPay #LIUNA
Right now shady contractors & corporate politicians are looking for ways to weaken & dismantle #DavisBacon & #PrevailingWage laws – and they are coming after YOUR hard-earned pay.

#FairPay #WhenWeFightWeWin #Construction #LIUNA #FeelThePower
When workers are paid fair, family-supporting wages, everyone benefits. Prevailing wage laws protect local jobs, build stronger communities, and ensure taxpayer dollars go to skilled, trained workers, not low-wage contractors.
#LIUNA #LaborersRising #WeAreLIUNA #FeelThePower #DavisBacon #InTheKow
#PrevailingWage, or #DavisBacon laws, prevent contractors from undermining the #wages & benefits of local workers. It also stops employers with the lowest bid from bringing in low paid, low skilled workers from out-of-state. bit.ly/43k2Gzy

🎥 Watch: the folks at LCP Tracker, Inc., put together a great explainer video on what #DavisBacon wages are & why they're so important.
Davis-Bacon Wages (& prevailing wages generally) ensure a #constructionworker minimum wage based on costs in an area.
🎥 #WATCH: @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 271's Stephen Clegg on #DavisBacon Wages:
"Davis-Bacon, essentially, is a #minimumwage law.
"Without it, contractors would be able to come in and undercut each other's bids in a race to the bottom, where the only person who's winning is the contractor..."
