Winning Issue » FEDERAL CONTRACTORS


Most federal contracts require contractors to use unionized workers when hiring. Opponents of this policy claim these projects are more costly when only union labor is used. Supporters worry that if our federal government encourages the use of non-union labor, many states and companies will follow its example



Polling Options

  • I oppose reforming current federal contractor hiring policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA).
  • I support requiring an employer to be scored on worker-friendliness before entering into a federal contract, and ensuring contracts are awarded to union members, union shops or firms that allow workers to unionize by: 1.) Developing a method to score the worker-friendliness of each prospective contractor or subcontractor that submits a bid for a federal contract that takes into account specified factors, such as whether the employer provides paid overtime for any work that exceeds 40 hours per work week. 2.) Providing each executive agency with recommendations on how to evaluate such a score in making contracting decisions. 3.) Identifying best practices for the implementation of the scoring process. 4.) Creating a process for an employer to appeal a score. 5.) Reviewing each score every five years to ensure that such score is up-to-date. And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
