Lethalfind Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Bush Suspends Pay Act In Areas Hit by Storm By Thomas B. Edsall Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, September 9, 2005; Page D03 President Bush yesterday suspended application of the federal law governing workers' pay on federal contracts in the Hurricane Katrina-damaged areas of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The action infuriated labor leaders and their Democratic supporters in Congress, who said it will lower wages and make it harder for union contractors to win bids. The Davis-Bacon Act, passed in 1931 during the Great Depression, sets a minimum pay scale for workers on federal contracts by requiring contractors to pay the prevailing or average pay in the region. Suspension of the act will allow contractors to pay lower wages. Many Republicans have opposed Davis-Bacon, charging that it amounts to a taxpayer subsidy to unions. AFL-CIO President John J. Sweeney sharply criticized the president's suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act. (John Locher - AP) Who's Blogging? Read what bloggers are saying about this article.

eddo Posted September 10, 2005 Posted September 10, 2005 Miller said: "In New Orleans, where a quarter of the city was poor, the prevailing wage for construction labor is about $9 per hour, according to the Department of Labor. In effect, President Bush is saying that people should be paid less than $9 an hour to rebuild their communities." Do we need anymore proof that Bush is a bastard. His Mommy surveys the people still living in the stadium in Houston and says this is good enough for them and returns to her multimillion dollar home and now her bastard son makes it so if any of these people want to help rebuild their city they won't get paid shit to do it. This will give the employers all kinds of excuses to exploit the workers. Very Nice indeed !!! I would think that these people would be willing to be paid anything to rebuild their communities. Heck, Gimie an hour adn I betcha I could bring about 100 border-crossers that would LOVE to get paid $2 an hour to provide for thier families. Just because Bush recinded this act does not mean that people will not get paid what they are due to get the work done. Sure it may happen, but there isn't exactly a lot of money (mixed in with a TON of work to be done) in the region right now to be forcing employers to pay the same that areas not hit by Katrina need to pay. Nevermind that now workers rebuilding the cities won't have to be unionized, and thus don't have to pay uinon dues (this = more take home pay.) Gee, I wonder who'd be upset about that? Unions? hmmm... Unions in general, suck. Quote I'm trusted by more women.
