On Jan. 3, 51·çÁ÷ sent a letter opposing a government-mandated project labor (PLA) inquiry posted by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command Washington.  NAVFAC Washington sought industry comments on a possible PLA for a project at the National Security Agency site in Annapolis, Md. The job is for the construction of a naval medical clinic.
51·çÁ÷ neither supports nor opposes contractors’ voluntary use of PLAs on government projects, but strongly opposes any government mandate for contractors’ use of PLAs. 51·çÁ÷ is committed to free and open competition for publicly funded work, and believes that the lawful labor relations policies and practices of private construction contractors should not be a factor in a government agency’s selection process.
