Please Complete the Survey Below to Help You & AGC
The Obama administration recently issued a proposed rule and guidance to implement its “Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces” (Blacklisting) Executive Order. Please complete this survey to help AGC show how the Blacklisting EO would impact the construction industry.
Under the Blacklisting EO, direct-federal contractors and subcontractors would have to do ALL of the following:
- Keep track of all of their violations of federal or state labor or employment laws, including all administrative determinations (such as OSHA citations), all civil judgments and all arbitration awards, for the last three years; AND
- Include information on all of those violations in all bids and proposals to perform federal contracts exceeding $500,000; AND
- Provide any information on any new violations to the contracting officer/prime contractor every six months for the term of any federal contract they are performing.
The order would also require prime contractors to evaluate their subcontractors’ labor violations at all subcontracting tiers and determine that the subcontractors are “responsible.” Contractors would have to perform this evaluation process for subcontractors that make offers before bid submission as well as those subcontractors that actually perform work post-contract award.
Again, please take a moment to complete this survey, so AGC can best represent you before Congress and the Administration.
