In a move intended to keep construction unions in his camp, Biden has signed an executive order mandating Project Labor Agreements on all federal contracts over $35 million.

What is a Project Labor Agreement? It eliminates a large chunk of competition in bidding on government projects by requiring that all bidders adhere to union standards.

The Mackinac Center blows the whistle on this bit of pandering here.

Steve Delie of the Center accurately states, “PLAs are simply a way to tilt the playing field against the nearly 90% of construction workers who choose not to belong to a union. The president has sadly decided to ignore these workers in favor of a special interest group. The United States is seeing and will continue to see unprecedented spending on public works projects.”

Would we expect Biden to pass up any chance to aid the interest groups that back him?
