Use of Project Labor Agreements for Federal Construction Projects

This executive order encourages federal agencies to consider requiring Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)—pre-hire collective bargaining agreements with labor unions—for large-scale federal construction projects costing $25 million or more. It revokes two Bush-era executive orders that had restricted PLA requirements, and mandates regulatory implementation within 120 days and a broader policy review within 180 days.
