Plus no white men can benefit, must be looking for illegal alien union workers
These are mostly conservative states. They may not be getting much in the way of federal construction money anyway. These Dems play hardball.
I think Big “O” has made things perfectly clear. Unless you are either union, or black (or probably BOTH)....
don’t expect to be gainfully employed in this, his “new AmeriKa”.
It shouldn't (in theory, at least) change much in states without labor unions. This executive order does not "order[] the use of union labor," it simply allows the relevant federal agency to require the use of union labor (and a "project labor agreement" or PLA) on a project-by-project basis, where the agency believes that requiring union labor will "advance the Federal Government's interest in achieving economy and efficiency in Federal procurement . . . "
In theory, at least, in states where union labor is non-existent, this order should not affect much (because using union labor in a state without labor unions could not possibly be economical or efficient). In practice, who knows? As some posters have mentioned/alluded to, it's possible that this could simply put a freeze on federal projects in such states...
Even “right to work” states have unions. Are there states without unions?
Those states will be frozen out of any projects created by the stimulus (pork) bill. Also people living in those states will not be able to get government cheese and crackers.
Right to Work states will 'sit out' early federal funds....Then when they 'toe the line' and allow union workers in, and only then, will federal funds come with them.
They are probably "red" states and therefore won't get any money anyway.
