AN ACT CONCERNING A REVISED PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT for the purpose of revising the pilot project labor agreement targeting Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation CIP 4.66.0002 Curb and Road and Rehabilitation 2 construction projects by authorizing the Department to grant project labor agreement requirement waivers under certain conditions. 

Background

In 2023, the Prince George's County Council voted favorably for a pilot project labor agreements. Project labor agreements (PLAs) are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements between project owners and unions that govern the terms and conditions of employment of employment for all workers on a specific project. This PLA pilot program was established to target the Department of Public Works and Transportation CIP 4.66.0002 Curb and Road and Rehabilitation 2 projects. Members of the County Council now seek to revise the pilot PLA by adding a provision which authorizes the Department to issue a waiver for contractors and subcontractors who are not covered by a PLA.
