The proposal would eliminate the requirement that workers on federally funded construction projects be paid prevailing wages in their area. This change would affect construction workers and companies bidding on government building projects, potentially lowering labor costs but also reducing pay standards for workers on these jobs. The bill is currently under review by the Senate committee responsible for labor and employment issues.
