Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Aug. 8 a change in labor rules that could result in higher pay for workers on federal construction projects.
This development is under the Davis-Bacon Act of 1931 that pertains to “contractors and subcontractors performing on federally funded or assisted contracts in excess of $2,000 for the construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works,” according to the Department of Labor.
