He’s all but decreed that only union labor can be used for these upcoming infrastructure projects. Can’t wait to see the bids....they’re going to be hysterically high. Unions can not build anything cheaper than the private sector. That is why they require government protection to exist now days.

..... You are exactly correct. Here in the SSR of Massachusetts, projects MUST employ union labor only in order to be funded. MA has long been a “prevailing wage” state, but payment of union scale wages by non-union contractors now suddenly no longer qualifies them for participation.
This is causing hardship here for townships on Cape Cod, because there are hardly any local union firms available. Apparently the stimulus funds are meant only to stimulate the favored few.
