In a 9-1 vote, the Pr. George's County Council launched a pilot program that would require a county department to use project labor agreements in contracting.
would require curb and rehabilitation projects to have contractors and subcontractors become part of a project labor agreement with guarantees against strikes and standards for resolving labor disputes. The agreements also come with parameters for productivity and safety.
“Logistically, it affects everything from crew chemistry to production to safety, the quality of work and to the cost of performing the work,” said Nelson Nazario of Beltsville-based NZI Construction, a certified minority business. “The purpose of the bill is essentially to get road contractors to hire residents of Prince George’s County to work on county projects. [At] NZI, currently 90 percent of our workforce are residents of Prince George’s County.
John Erzen, chief of staff for County Executive Angela D. Alsobrooks, said her administration supports the legislation and will continue to scrutinize county spending for its impacts on small businesses in Prince George’s, minority business participation and fiscal responsibility.
