What is your role?

As a constituent, you have a vital role to play in the legislative process.
When you take the time to write, call or visit representatives in-person, they listen and take what you say into consideration.

Your story CAN change their view on the issues that affect you, your employees, and your community.

What is a Project Labor Agreement (PLA)?

Project Labor Agreements are restrictive agreements that keep contractors and their highly skilled and trained employees from bidding on and winning construction projects. PLAs exclude the merit shop workforce from working on projects they are qualified for, which is discriminatory and can have costly side effects.
