The Lancaster County Commissioners passed, yesterday, an ordinance forbidding the use of county funds for any construction project with a project labor agreement or PLA.
A PLA is a binding contract with one or more labor unions that establishes terms of employment for a specific construction contract.

The act, Ordinance 99, also prohibits PLAs for municipal projects using county grants.
