Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects
This executive order requires project labor agreements (PLAs)—pre-hire collective bargaining agreements with labor unions—for federal construction projects costing $35 million or more. It revokes a prior Obama-era EO on the same topic and mandates implementing regulations, contracting officer training, and public reporting on exceptions.
Increasing the Minimum Wage for Federal Contractors
This executive order raises the minimum wage for workers on federal contracts to $15.00 per hour, effective January 30, 2022, with annual inflation adjustments beginning January 1, 2023. It also establishes a phased increase for tipped workers and revokes a 2018 exemption for recreational services on federal lands.
Revocation of Certain Presidential Actions
This executive order revokes seven Trump-era executive orders and memoranda covering financial regulation, poverty programs, labor-management relations, regulatory relief, federal funding to cities, federal architecture, and agency rulemaking accountability. It directs OMB and agency heads to rescind implementing rules and abolish related entities as appropriate under law.
Revocation of Executive Order 13801
This executive order revokes Executive Order 13801 (2017), which had established a task force and framework to expand industry-recognized apprenticeship programs. It directs agencies to rescind implementing rules and abolish related entities, while preserving compliance with the Administrative Procedure Act and other applicable law.
Protecting the Federal Workforce
This executive order revokes Trump-era policies that weakened federal employee protections, including Schedule F (which would have made career civil servants easier to fire) and three 2018 executive orders restricting union activities. It also requires agencies to bargain over certain labor matters and directs OPM to recommend a $15/hour minimum wage for federal workers.
