PREVAILING WAGE IS UNDER ATTACK
06/09/26 - IBEW Local 100 
PREVAILING WAGE IS UNDER ATTACK!!! STOP AB 1751!!! The Carpenter's Union is supporting a bill that will destroy Prevailing Wages! This bill, AB 1751, will cut the Prevailing Wage almost in half, to $28 per hour, WITH NO FRINGE BENEFITS!!! That means NO HEALTHCARE and NO PENSION for workers building new townhomes, under the guise of an expedited approval process. Help stop this bill by making your voice heard. Click on the image and fill out the required boxes and submit. It only takes 2 minutes to help stop this platen attack on Prevailing Wage. |
