Port Of Seattle Project Labor Agreement

On February 6, 2009, President Barack Obama signed Executive Order 13502[1], which requires federal authorities to prescribe the use of AOPs in federal construction projects costing $25 million or more on a case-by-case basis. [29] The purpose of this law was to repeal the bush 13202 and 13208 implementing decrees eight years earlier, which had banned administration-ordered ASAs for federally and federally funded construction projects. [30] Obama`s injunction states that federal authorities can require a PLA if such an agreement achieves federal goals in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. Under the terms of the arrangement, non-unionized contractors can compete for contracts that are subject to SPAs, but they must agree to the different conditions contained in each PLA to win a federal contract and build a project. [15] A major change from the 2001 regulations is that the Obama Regulation, by repealing bush injunctions from federal funds, such as public, local, and private owners, allows PLAs to be mandated for public construction projects of all sizes. . . .
