Conservatives working to repeal prevailing wage law!

HARRISBURG -- State legislators are caught in a squeeze between conservative groups that want to repeal Pennsylvania's 50-year-old "prevailing wage law" and construction unions, which are fighting hard to retain it.

The first step toward repeal is expected this week, when the House is to vote on a measure that would narrow significantly the number of publicly funded construction projects covered by the law.

The law, enacted in 1961, requires school districts, counties and towns to pay prevailing wages, which often means union wages, to employees hired for public construction projects.

1. I wonder why they are bothering.

Since they have worked so hard to reduce all wages already, haven't they already reduced the prevailing wage?

They like to kick the workers on the way down!
