But not so good for job creation,” the WSJ wrote.  The policy gives preference to any federal government contractor who complies with union-driven wage and benefit standards, and the government would rate each contractor according to yet-undefined evaluation factors – possibly blacklisting existing or new nonunion contractors from competing. Katie Packer, executive director of the Workforce Fairness Institute explains why Big Labor is pushing for this and why this will harm workers and businesses.
