WGAL: PLAs “unfair to Pennsylvania taxpayers”
WGAL President and General Manager Paul Quinn expresses support in an editorial for Rep. John Bear’s legislation (H.B. 2010) to end PLAs in Pennsylvania.
WGAL President and General Manager Paul Quinn:
Rep. John Bear has introduced legislation that would prohibit project labor agreements—PLAs—on public construction in Pennsylvania.
Rep. Bear says government-mandated PLAs punish taxpayers by inflating public construction costs, discourage competition from local businesses with high-skilled employees and rig the procurement process in the unions’ favor when competing for state and local construction contracts.
