Gregg: Union rule threatens job center

In the Union Leader, Mark Hayward reports on Judd Gregg's complaint that federal rules are standing in the way of New Hampshire construction projects.

The situation is further complicated by a requirement that limits bidding to small firms, which would be less likely to have PLA experience.

Under such conditions, not a single firm in New Hampshire is eligible for the project, Gregg said.

"The Administration's decision to discriminate against successful and independent construction firms simply because New Hampshire employees choose to work in a union-free workplace and not bow to the demands of big labor is extremely unfair to our state," Gregg said.
