Last month, House Republicans voted to overturn a rule that required federal contractors to disclose wage theft and worker safety violations within bids for new government contracts. On Monday, the Senate will weigh-in on this repeal.
Businesses, including the Chamber of Commerce, have called the law “costly, unnecessary, and unworkable.” Proponents of the law have argued that repealing it will make it easier for contractors to break labor laws, using tax dollars to do so. Almost one quarter of the workforce is employed by a company that holds a federal contract.
If the Senate votes to repeal the rule, President Trump is expected to approve the decision. Read more about the rule here.
