[Ltr. 9/8/05] HR 3761, Flexibility for Displaced Workers Act IBEW objected to a Proclamation by the President: To Suspend Subchapter IV of Chapter 31 of Title 40, United States Code, within a Limited Geographic Area in Response to the National Emergency Caused by Hurricane Katrina. This proclamation would suspend Davis-Bacon wage protections for construction workers employed on Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts. The Davis-Bacon Act requires that construction contractors bidding on U.S. federal construction projects exceeding $2,000 pay their employees the local wage and benefits (prevailing wage) that workers in the geographic area performing similar work are earning. Suspension of Davis-Bacon in the affected areas will reduce the wages of all construction workers employed on any job in the counties listed as disaster areas, regardless of union affiliation. [09-15-05] The IBEW supported a Senate amendment to increase the minimum wage to $5.70 six months after the enactment of the Transportation-Treasury-HUD Appropriations spending bill (H.R. 3058), and an increase to $6.25 one year after enactment. | Defense, Dept of (DOD),Executive Office of the President (EOP),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE | 520000 | 0 | 0 | 2006-01-04T00:00:00-05:00 |
