Abstract
- The Clinton administration plans to issue an executive order requiring the use of project labor agreements by federal government agencies on federally funded construction projects. The proposed plan got support from unions, but was criticized by business groups as political pandering. Supporters expect the order to bring stability to the construction industry, claiming that project agreements promote economy, quality, safety, and labor stability. The executive order also centers on issues of labor disputes, such as strikes and lockouts, as well as bidding agreements.
