WASHINGTON - Virginia Foxx, Chairwoman of the Education and the Workforce Committee, has criticized President Biden's final rule implementing Executive Order 14063. According to Foxx, this rule benefits union bosses at the expense of American workers, contractors, and taxpayers. Foxx stated, "Whenever union bosses call President Biden to do their bidding, he picks up on the first ring." She argues that the rule, which promotes project labor agreements on federal construction projects, is lopsided and unfair.
Foxx further expressed her concern that the rule excludes non-union workers from federal construction jobs. She called this practice "outrageous" and accused President Biden of showing favoritism towards his union handlers. Foxx described the final rule as "pure bureaucratic nepotism."
The Biden administration's implementation of Executive Order 14063 has faced criticism from various quarters. Critics argue that it undermines the interests of American workers and contractors. The rule, which aims to promote union participation in federal construction projects, has been seen as a move to strengthen the influence and power of unions. However, opponents argue that it limits job opportunities for non-union workers and creates an unfair playing field.
As the debate continues, the impact of the final rule on the workforce and construction industry remains to be seen. However, critics like Virginia Foxx are concerned about the consequences of the Biden administration's favoritism towards unions. They argue that American workers, contractors, and taxpayers will bear the brunt of this policy.
In response to Foxx's criticism, the Biden administration has yet to issue a statement. However, this development adds to the ongoing discussions surrounding the role of unions in the American workforce and the balance between union rights and the interests of non-union workers.
