Congressman Horsford Defends Project Labor Agreements During NDAA Markup

During the markup session of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Congressman Steven Horsford defended Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) in federal and military construction. He underscored the long history of PLAs in enhancing efficiency, safety, and workforce training, specifically pointing out their importance in projects like the Nevada Test Site and the Department of Homeland Security headquarters. Arguing against an amendment from Congressman Matt Gaetz that proposes repealing PLAs, Congressman Horsford, as co-chair of the Congressional Labor Caucus, emphasized their role in ensuring cost-effectiveness and safety, alongside benefits to local communities and veterans.
