The potential bankruptcy of California’s government hasn’t stopped the politicians from demanding taxpayers pay more for public works projects by ensuring only Big Labor-backed construction firms get the work. By demanding Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) politicians drive up the cost of construction by over 25% and deny more than 80% of California’s contractors the opportunity to even bid on the work. PLAs are kick back schemes that benefit union bosses and lobbyists.
California’s Big Labor-concocted A.B.5, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019, made it almost impossible for workers and firms to bounce back after 2020’s COVID-19 lockdowns. Now Biden bureaucrats want to federalize A.B.5!
