NUCA Webinar: Davis-Bacon Final Rule
Each year, the Davis-Bacon Act’s prevailing wage regulations apply to roughly $217 billion in federal and federally assisted construction projects. The U.S. Dept. of Labor announced its new Davis-Bacon regulations are effective October 23, less than three months away. These regulations will be enforced for projects receiving funding under the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Our webinar presenters will be:
- Ben Brubeck, ABC’s Vice President of Regulatory, Labor and State Affairs, whose years of expertise with Davis-Bacon regulations was recently shared on Fox News’s “America Reports.”
- Jonathan Landesman, labor and employment attorney and partner in the Labor and Employment Practice Group of Cohen, Seglias, Pallas, Greenhall and Furman PC. Jon’s expertise includes almost 20 years of Davis-Bacon litigation defenses for East Coast construction companies.
Our experts discussed in-depth the new changes and how their compliance requirements will affect utility construction contractors and their employees. NUCA’s vice president of government affairs Zack Perconti also discussed the next steps the construction industry is taking to mitigate these controversial changes to long-standing labor practices.
