UPDATE: “No local construction firms need apply,” Oct. 2

On Monday, a Concord, NH-based general contractor filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office, alleging that the U.S. Department of Labor’s mandated use of a project labor agreement (PLA) for a jobs center in Manchester is discriminatory because 91 percent of the construction workers in New Hampshire don’t belong to a union. The company is asking GAO to put a stay on the bidding process until the PLA is removed.
