This billboard and video are part of the “Save His Endangered Job”campaign to prevent wasteful and discriminatory PLAs on public construction in Pennsylvania.  PLAs discourage nonunion contractors from competing for construction contracts on PLA projects. Reduced competition increases the cost of construction and prevents taxpayers from receiving the best quality product at the best possible price. In addition, should a nonunion contractor successfully win a contract on a PLA project, PLAs force nonunion employees to pay dues to a union, accept union representation for the life of a project without an employee vote or choice, and follow antiquated union work rules in order to work on a project funded by their own tax dollars.
