ABC of Iowa Applauds Governor Branstad for Taking Action to Protect the Rights of Construction Workers
DES MOINES – ABC of Iowa released the following statement from Greg Spenner, ABC of Iowa President & CEO, regarding Governor Branstad’s signing of Executive Order #69:
"We applaud Governor Branstad for swiftly taking action to protect the rights of all construction workers in the state by issuing an executive order which prohibits the use of Project Labor Agreements on public projects with state funding. We believe that PLAs discriminate against workers who choose not to be a member of a union. The opportunity to work on state-funded projects should be open to all taxpayers. Again, we thank Governor Branstad for taking this action on the day of his inauguration."
