AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law by specifying how the prevailing wage rate for mechanics, apprentices, teamsters, chauffeurs, and laborers on public works projects in Massachusetts should be determined. The bill states that the commissioner should consider the wage rates established through collective agreements or understandings between organized labor and employers in the private construction industry. In areas where such rates have not been established, the commissioner should consider the wages paid by private employers in the same trades and occupations.
