"This year’s GOP platform: Dismisses the federal minimum wage, declaring that decisions about base hourly wages “should be handled at the state and local level” — where Republican governors and legislators openly question the value of the minimum wage itself. Endorses anti-union “right-to-work” laws enacted by Republican governors such as Wisconsin’s Walker and calls for taking the anti-union crusade national with a proposal “for a national law” along “right-to-work” lines. Attacks the use of the Fair Labor Standard Act to protect workers. Rips the use of Project Labor Agreements to raise wages and improve working conditions. Proposes to gut the 85-year-old Davis-Bacon Act, which guarantees “prevailing wage” pay for workers on federal projects."
