What it does
This bill requires a state agency to consider using a project labor agreement for a large-scale construction project. The bill defines a “project labor agreement” as a comprehensive pre-hire collective bargaining agreement that is negotiated between a project’s owner and an appropriate labor organization and sets out the basic terms and working conditions for that particular project. The bill defines a “large-scale construction project” as the construction, rehabilitation, alteration, conversion, extension, repair, or improvement of a vertical public works project, including a building and other real property-related project, for which the total project cost is $25 million or more.
