Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Determinations Seriously Flawed

Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Determinations Should Be Calculated Fairly

The Davis-Bacon Act requires Contractors on all Federal construction projects to pay their work­ers the prevailing wage in the same locality. The law is intended to ensure that the government's buy­ing power does not drive down construction work­ers' wages.

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the Department of Labor calculates the prevailing construction wage rates in each county in the United States, and federal contractors must pay these rates. However, the WHD uses a survey methodology that is fundamentally flawed, which means that Davis- Bacon rates often bear no relation to market wages.

Many States have adopted their own Davis-Bacon Laws commonly called Baby-Bacons, the majority of which suffer the same unfair and flawed wage determination methodology that plaques the Federal Law. Read Analysis

Committee Republicans Demand NLRB Cease Job-Destroying Bureaucratic Activism

Committee Republicans Demand NLRB Cease Job-Destroying Bureaucratic Activism

Republican Members of the House Education and the Workforce Committee have demanded the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) end its job-destroying activist agenda. In a letter to NLRB Acting General Counsel Lafe Solomon, members describe a number of actions by the Obama labor board that call into question the objectivity and credibility of the office, including the NLRB’s most recent effort to force The Boeing Company to relocate a South Carolina assembly line to Washington.

As the Republican members note, “Taken together, your actions threaten future economic growth and job creation and reflect an unsavory culture of union favoritism. We demand you cease your bureaucratic activism immediately and restore the objectivity that is essential to the effectiveness and credibility of the General Counsel’s office.”

IRS, The New Health Care Police!

IRS,nurse,healthcare
Under The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA),  Americans will be required to have health insurance, and that brings with it a whole new level of administrative duties. Someone will have to serve as the health care police. It appears those tasks will fall to the IRS.

Some of the new tasks that will be required once the health law is fully implemented. According to Kaiser Health News this will involve:
  • Monitoring compliance. Taxpayers will have to provide proof of coverage with their annual federal tax returns. Failure to comply will result in a penalty, payable to the IRS.
  • Distributing new government subsidies to low-income individuals through newly created state exchanges.
  • Overseeing small business tax credits to help qualifying businesses provide insurance to employees.
  • Assessing a tax on insurers that provide insurance benefits that are high-cost, or “Cadillac” plans.
  • Enforcing penalties for improper distributions from Health Savings Accounts, which are likely to increase under the new plan.
  • Overseeing the demand that not-for-profit hospitals live up to their “charitable missions” by doing a “charitable needs assessment” once every three years.
  • Regulating contributions to Flexible Spending Accounts, which under the new law are now limited.
In addition the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says that the tax agency will also collect new fees levied on employers, drug makers, device manufacturers and health insurance providers. The CBO reports that this could amount to hundreds of billions of dollars.

NLRB Takes Shot Over The Bow Of Right To Work States

Acting NLRB General
Council Leaf Solomon
The NLRB Acting General Council Leaf Solomon filed a complaint against Boeing charging the company violated Federal Labor Law by building a plant in North Carolina. The claim is the company is building a plant in a Right To Work State to avoid hiring union labor. This ridiculous claim finally places Obama's Radical NLRB Appointments on display for all to see.

Boeing has fired back, "This claim is legally frivolous and represents a radical departure from both NLRB and Supreme Court precedent," Michael Luttig, Boeing's general counsel, said in a statement. "Boeing has every right under both federal law and its collective bargaining agreement to build additional U.S. production capacity outside of the Puget Sound region." Boeing noted that it announced plans to build a new factory in South Carolina, a right to work state, 17 months ago, The plant is nearing completion and the company has already hired 1,000 workers. Read More Wall Street Journal
Obama's Most Egregious
Recess Appointment

Senator DeMint blasted the NLRB Complaint against Boeing.
"This is nothing more than a political favor for the unions who are supporting President Obama's re-election campaign. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of hundreds of jobs in South Carolina and thousands of jobs nationwide. There is no doubt that if the National Labor Relations Board's claim against Boeing moves forward, it will have a chilling effect on job growth in my state and in right-to-work states across the country. Using the federal government as political weapon to protect union bosses at the expense of American jobs cannot be tolerated. I intend to use every tool at my disposal as a United States Senator to stop the President from carrying out his malicious act." Read More The Washington Examiner: 

Why didn't Boeing Consider New Jersey for Its New Plant?
The answer is obvious, "New Jersey is Not a Right To Work State". If it was, there may have been an opportunity for thousands of new Jobs to be created by not only Boeing but a myriad of other Businesses relocating here, but they will never come to New Jersey because of the current NJ Legislature Democrat Majority's historic hostility towards Business, including their refusal to consider any meaningful reforms that would attract new business or existing businesses to relocate to the State.

Senate Dems Shun Governors Relieve For Municipalities

Unionized Public Employee Saddle Municipalities With Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars In Sick And Vacation Time Payouts. 

Senator Tom Kean (R-21)Senators Tom Kean, Jr. (R- Union) and Joe Kyrillos (R- Monmouth) said that Legislative Democrats are seeking to preserve jackpot payouts for municipal employees at the expense of New Jersey's Taxpayers

Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-13)“Current employees, who are left untouched by the Democrats’ sham sick leave reform bill, have racked up $825 million in unused leave time that will be paid for by the taxpayers,” said Senator Kean. “There is no excuse to allow these employees to continue to accumulate time that may be cashed out upon retirement on top of that $825 million, as has been proposed by Legislative Democrats.”

“There’s no defensible reason to add to the taxpayers’ burden,” said Kyrillos. “Democrats seem to be genetically incapable of embracing common sense reform.”  Read More

Senate Re-Loads On Independent Contractor Misclassification

Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) have introduced the Payroll Fraud Prevention Act (S. 770), as a trimmed-down version of last years the Employee Misclassification Prevention Act Taking a cue from state legislators that have labeled new state laws involving wage violations as a form of “payroll theft,” the sponsors of the bill characterize misclassification of employees as a form of “payroll fraud.”
It the bill were to be enacted, it would expand the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (which currently addresses minimum wage, overtime, and child labor laws) to cover misclassification of employees as independent contractors. It would create a new definition of workers called “non-employees,” impose upon businesses the obligation to provide a classification notice for both “non-employees” and “employees,” make the misclassification of “employees” as “non-employees” a new labor law offense, and expose businesses to fines of up to $5,000 per worker for each violation of the lawRead More

EPA's Train Wreck Threatens To Derail The Economy

During a speech on small business at Cleveland State University , Obama described a goal of “knocking down barriers that stand in the way of your growth.” Unfortunately, his EPA couldn’t be more in the dark about how to implement that practice. The EPA is poised to adopt more than 30 new, major regulations and over 170 major policy rules in the next several months.

Even with 14 million Americans out of work and an economy still searching for light at the end of the tunnel, the EPA is poised to enact a series of back-door mandates that will stifle economic growth. And with the speed that this runaway train is traveling, people in every state should be scared of the “Train Wreck” headed towards a town near you.


Unfortunately, the large majority of Americans won't realize or even understand the impact of the EPA’s “Train Wreck” of new regulations on jobs, the economy and price of essential energy until it’s too late.

The truth is, the EPA itself doesn’t know what these regulations might cost to implement, although various outside analysts seem to agree that, at minimum, the 10 major rules that the EPA issued in 2010 could cost the economy at least $23 billion and nearly one million jobs. Read More
