AB 464 & SB 490 : Reestablishing prevailing wage

Bill Description

The skilled workers who are building our communities deserve to be paid a fair hourly minimum wage and fringe benefits. Taxpayers also benefit when we have workers from our communities rather than out-of-state contractors, which has increased by 60 percent since Wisconsin repealed our prevailing wage requirements. AB 464 & SB 490 would require employers on public construction projects to pay their workers the prevailing wage of the county.
