Last night, in a 41-page decision, the U.S. Federal Court of Claims invalidated the project labor agreements (PLAs) on several federal construction contracts bids on the grounds that PLAs are set-aside programs that must be authorized by Congress. The Associated General Contractors (AGC) says it will continue “conversations with the incoming Trump Administration about the need to officially revoke President Biden’s illegal project labor agreement Executive Order and FAR Rules…in light of last night’s ruling.”
