Does NO ONE in the White House know anything about anything? Federal contracts ALREADY have a clause requiring that workers be paid “prevailing wage”. That is what some desk jockey in Washington determines to be a fair rate of pay for every level of work for a government contract. My husband’s company got into government contracting years ago - and the increased paperwork was worth it in the long run because the government sets a MINIMUM bid for jobs that is often two or three times higher than what my husband would have bid in the first place. So lots of profit on those jobs. But in his experience my husband said he never saw an hourly rate lower than $10 or even close to $10 per hour anyway. So more bloviating from a clueless White House.
I worked as a federal contractor employee in 1973-76. EVERYONE was paid $13/hour minumum following the federal contract. These OBUMS Obama are morons and know absolutely nothing about anything. Throw the Bum out!
We have a pigpen and We`re gonna use it!
