The Biden administration just introduced a new rule that will increase wages for construction workers on federal projects. The Department of Labor will restore a definition of the “prevailing wage,” which is the average hourly wage paid to similarly employed workers. Under the new rule, employers will be required to pay construction workers the equivalent of wages made by at least 30 percent of workers in a given trade and locality. This brings back a standard codified under the [url=https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/government-contracts/construction#:~:text=Davis%2DBacon Act and Related,similar projects in the area.]Davis-Bacon Act of 1931[/url], which was in place for more than 50 years. It was then scrapped in 1983 as part of Ronald Reagan’s crackdown on organized labor. Since then, it has been required that 50 percent of workers earn a specific wage for it to be considered prevailing. The Biden administration’s new rule also includes new anti-retaliation provisions and greater enforcement powers for the Labor Department to hold employers accountable for wage theft. According to The American Prospect, the construction industry interest group will likely file a lawsuit to try to stop its passage as soon as this week.
But if the return to the New Deal-era Davis-Bacon standard holds, millions of construction workers are expected to benefit. Proponents hope that it will shrink the wage gap between Northern states, which tend to have better workplace protections, and Southern ones, which have less than half the North’s union density and overall lower standards for wages and work conditions. Incidentally, this has led many employers to move their construction projects South to hire cheaper (read: more easily exploited) labor.
It is also critically important as the Biden administration undertakes billions in new infrastructure spending under the Inflation Reduction Act. His support from organized labor has been complicated by, among many other shortcomings, the fact that much of the federal funds poured into the project have gone to de-unionized Republican states. According to Jeff Stein and Lauren Kaori Gurley in The Washington Post,

Unease among some unions has threatened to cloud a boom in clean energy investment and production: Funding from President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act has poured disproportionately into red states, with private developers of renewable energy projects seeking lower labor costs in parts of the country with nonunion workforces. The United Auto Workers, for instance, has sounded the alarm over relatively low pay for workers at one new battery factory, pushing to ensure union workers still benefit in the electric vehicle era. The new rule, which updates the 1931 Davis-Bacon Act, is intended to ensure that labor unions are at the forefront of the projects resulting from the federal spending blitz.

CNN  — 
An Atlanta-based grand jury has indicted Donald Trump and 18 others on state charges stemming from their efforts to overturn the former president’s 2020 electoral defeat.

The historic 41-count indictment unsealed Monday is the fourth criminal case that Trump is facing.
All 19 co-defendants must surrender by August 25 at noon, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis told reporters Monday after the indictment was released.

Trump and others “joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome” of the election, according to the indictment, which said they “unlawfully conspired and endeavored to conduct and participate in a criminal enterprise” after Trump lost the election in Georgia.

A Fulton County, Georgia grand jury returned an indictment against Donald Trump and 18 others on Monday evening.

The indictment laid out eight ways the 'enterprise' obstructed the election:

By soliciting Justice Dept. officials
By soliciting VP Pence
