The Prevailing Wage is now on Snyder's menu

The Prevailing Wage is now on Snyder's menu - Politics - The Detroit News:
"Michigan’s non-union, merit-shop construction companies are ready to do a great job for the taxpayers at a better price, and they’re not taking “no” for an answer.
The unions think all construction workers need to be paid 60 percent higher than the market rate, even though unions represent just 17 percent of the state’s construction workforce.
And construction is the only industry affected by the prevailing wage.
In a union stronghold like Michigan, politicians have historically been averse to taking on prevailing wage, despite the estimated $250 million per year in artificially-inflated wages paid out to union contractors by state and local governments.
Knowing it is often hard to get elected officials to do what’s best for job creators, the Association of Builders and Contractors of Michigan decided to first go after local communities that had local prevailing wage laws on the books."
