Gubernatorial Nominee Sells Out Hardhats
To guarantee the huge union political machine’s backing for her gubernatorial campaign, Abigail Spanberger is pushing for union-only PLAs for taxpayer-funded construction.
As California goes, so goes the nation — in this case that would be great! It was exciting to see the Orange County Board of as Supervisors (latimes.com) ban the use of forced unionism, Public Labor Agreements for county construction projects. Supervisor John Moorlach pushed the resolution. Moorlach was the county Treasurer in 2000 when the board approved a PLA. Moorlach said the decision was a “long-term stain and an embarrassment for a conservative county like ours.” Hopefully other counties and states across the nation will stand up for fairness, taxpayers and workers by following California’s lead on this issue.

On a multi-billion dollar federal project, a PLA could add hundreds of millions of dollars to taxpayer costs.
“Both because of their substantial net taxpayer losses due to domestic migration, and because the taxpayers they gained reported $13,469 less income apiece than the taxpayers they lost, forced-unionism states lost a total of $65.7 billion in AGI in 2021 alone.”
