Prevailing wage is the minimum wage and workmanship standard for those who build our schools, hospitals, bridges, and other public facilities. Strong prevailing wage laws improve the lives of veterans, who work in construction at much higher rates than non-veterans, and come home to put their battle-tested leadership and problem solving skills to work building our communities while providing a good life for their families. Unfortunately, in the last two years, at least eleven states (including Illinois) have considered repealing or weakening their prevailing wage laws, which would hurt our economy and drive thousands of veterans out of their jobs and into poverty. Our veterans fought for us over there. Let’s show them that we have their back here at home. Stand with veterans and sign our petition for the strong prevailing wage laws that help veterans and their families access good paying construction jobs in our communities.
