Relative to setting the prevailing wage rates. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 26 of Chapter 149 of the General Laws to change how the prevailing wage rate is determined for mechanics, apprentices, teamsters, chauffeurs, and laborers working on public works projects. The bill requires the Commissioner to consider the wage rates established through collective bargaining agreements in the private construction industry when setting the prevailing wage rate. In towns where no such rates have been established, the Commissioner must consider the wages paid by private employers in the same trades and occupations.
