The sponsor's argument
Why Monica Martinez says this is needed
Project labor agreements (PLAs) are shown to be an effective tool in ensuring safe and efficient construction projects in New York State. PLAs establish the terms and conditions for a particular construction project and within the provisions of an agreement wages and work sched- ules are a part of those provisions. A 2009 Cornell University study found PLAs contributed to cost savings and fewer delays in projects. Additionally, PLAs generally foster safer working environments by enforcing strong worksite labor standards. This legislation would require the adoption of PLAs on educational construction projects. These types of projects are particularly prone to delays, strikes, and cost inefficiencies. The use of PLAs will ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively and aren't overspent throughout educational institutions' construction projects.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
