If I had one bill, one page. Prevailing wage. Page 2. I would propose a bill that would do away with prevailing wage. Prevailing wage is a law that pays workers the region’s standards for hourly wages, benefits, and overtime, as calculated by the U.S. Department of Labor and Ohio Department of Commerce.
The overtime would stay, but companies would not be forced to pay a set high standard and would not be forced to be union. Example if a Union company is paying on average say $35.00 an hour, and a non Union company is paying $ 20.00 an hour, you go with the non union company.
The law would read. Any local or state that uses prevailing wage, undocumented workers or states the job needs to be done by union workers would be denied federal funds for that project.
