A Texas court awarded a temporary injunction against the Obama administration’s Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces final rule, also known as “blacklisting”, on October 25. The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), its Southeast Chapter and the National Association of Security Companies (NASCO) filed a legal challenge October 7. The rule, which requires government contractors to report alleged violations that firms are still contesting, will force businesses to abandon pursuit of government contracts and will make the contracting process less efficient and more expensive.
