Are you a trade union worker? Have you ever worked at a “prevailing wage” job site? Then today in Labor History, is an important day for you. The year was 1931.

Congress passed the Davis-Bacon Act. This act requires that any new construction or repair of a public building or public works project of more than $2,000 that includes federal funding must pay a “prevailing wage.”

I am among the many who get shafted everyday, because we live in a "right to work" state.

Thank you for all you do OS.
