Read the following in the Pittsburgh paper..an opinion piece, but talks about how the President within weeks of taking office signed an executive order excouraging use of PLA's (project labor agreements) REQUIRING CONTRACTORS TO AGREE TO UNION REPRESENTATION, and in May a federal rule implemeted that order.

"The union label: Paying off Big Labor"

"This, in an industry with 27 percent unemployment. And with study after study showing PLAs hike costs 10 percent to 20 percent -- and the rule essentially ending open, competitive bidding for federal construction contracts -- taxpayers will feel plenty of pain, too."
