Projects Funded By “Stimulus” Spending Spree Must Be Manned By Overprised Union Labor
Because nothing says “stimulate the economy” by inflating the price of government projects with protectionist policies for unions.
Perhaps with all of the gloom-and-doom language preceding passage of the Obama/Pelosi government enrichment bill you didn’t hear about this little goodie. It seems that this so-called “stimulus” bill also has a little present in it for labor unions. Under Pelosi’s bill any stimulus-funded construction project will have to either hire union labor or pay whatever workers are hired union wages.
Now there’s stimulus you can believe in: Paying inflated wages to construction workers on government projects is really going to propel our economy into growth mode virtually overnight.
As usual, Democrats are more interested in doing what’s best for their Big Labor masters than what’s best for America. After all, why should unionized workforces get preferential treatment over workforces that choose not to unionize?
