Tell Lawmakers:
Stop Project Labor Agreements (PLA’s) and keep jobs in Maryland!
Americans expect fairness and open competition. Join us to tell Maryland lawmakers to stop mandated Project Labor Agreements (PLA’s) and keep jobs in Maryland!
Project Labor Agreements lead to inequity and exclusion, hurting small and minority-owned businesses (MBE’s) and Maryland workers. PLA’s are a step backward in recent efforts to eliminate institutional barriers to racial wealth equality by enshrining practices that only make it more difficult for MBE businesses to participate.
It gets worse.
A PLA on a project typically requires any contracting firm working on that project to obtain its workforce from one or more specified building trades unions, but 90% of the contractors in Maryland are not union, leading to out-of-state hiring. It’s time we focus on the hard-working folks that call Maryland their home.
Use the form to tell your local legislators and Governor Wes Moore to stop Project Labor Agreements (PLA’s) and keep jobs in Maryland! You can also edit the message to include personal details or information about the impact of PLA’s on you or your business.
