MUNICIPALITIES & PREVAILING WAGE

Recently the Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld an earlier decision by the Commonwealth Court in Borough of Youngwood vs. Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Appeals Board. The Courts ruled that public works projects such as repaving of roads is considered "maintenance work" and therefore, falls under the Prevailing Wage Act, requiring municipalities to now pay prevailing wages for such projects. In March 2007, I introduced SB 333, which would address this issue by amending the Act to further define "maintenance work" to include repair work such as replacing guide rails, pavement repair, and bridge cleaning and resurfacing. Currently, SB 333 remains on the table in the Senate, having been reported out of the Senate Labor and Industry Committee.
