Urgent Action Needed to Stop

Indiana House Bills 1184 & 1274  

This Tuesday marks the last day that a bill can move from the Indiana House to the Indiana Senate in order to become law. Indiana House bills 1184 and 1274, if enacted could be damaging to the working families of Indiana.

HB 1184 -- Initially increases the threshold at which Common Construction Wage applies to a public works project to $300,000.  It then increases the threshold another 10% per year starting in 2006.  It effectively repeals the Common Construction Wage over the next decade.

HB 1274 -- Bans the use of Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) by government entities.  Prohibits pre-negotiated, pre-hire collective bargaining agreements that cover working conditions and standards on public building projects.  It effectively prohibits a government entity from negotiating with the Building Trades Councils.



Both HB 1184 and HB 1274 mean a partial repeal of the Common Construction Wage law!

We can’t let this happen!  Both of these bills will be up for a vote in the Indiana House on Tuesday, March 1! 

Please take a moment today and tell your Indiana State Representative to Vote "NO" on HB 1184 & 1274
