: Michigan Construction LawSixth Circuit Upholds Michigan Law Limiting Project Labor Agreements
The act prohibits a city, village, township or other governmental unit from awarding a public construction project, grant, tax abatement or tax credit based on whether or not a bidder, contractor or developer employs union or non-union labor.
The Court noted in a 13-page published opinion that "The act furthers Michigan?s proprietary goal of improving efficiency in public construction projects, and the act is no broader than is necessary to meet those goals."
The Sixth Circuit's decision overturns a 2012 decision we reported here by U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts, who had ruled that PA 98 violated the National Labor Relations Act.
Cite: Michigan Bldg & Const Trades Council v Snyder, 729 F.3d 572 (6th Cir. 2013).
