Does any one have any insight into:
-The impacts of Davis Bacon on the Lab. I have heard some crafts people are earning over $60 dollars an hour. If this is true, how is this impacting the budget?
-What is the latest on negotiations with the Lab and the Union? Has there been any progress?

You ave heard wrong. Get a hearing aid.
I don't think $60 is unrealistic. I make $58.xx on Davis Bacon projects. The Davis Bacon rate is different for each person. It varies by what type of insurance, how many dependents, TCP1 or TCP2 and how much vacation or sick leave you have taken recently. I am married with dependents and on TCP1. It not that unrealistic that a person with out dependents and on TCP2 could earn more then I even if we are earn the same wage when not on Davis Bacon projects.
I would also like to know how this extra cost in wadges is affecting the Labs bottom line.
Here are glaring examples of how unions are killing America. Why should a worker's personal family situation affect his/her wage or salary? Why are not capability, performance, and productivity the only measures? Why should I, as a taxpayer, put up with this nonsense? Why isn't it a competition for the best workers? If you can't make it on your own personal merits, you should be out!
In the army (when it was mostly draftees) the married guys were paid more, and also could receive a housing allowance.
Each according to their need.
Then there's the guy who when told he'd be paid what he was worth, got mad, and exclaimed: "Why, I would not work for that little!"
Each according to their need.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" - Karl Marx. Any more truth needed that unions are communist?
