Today we honor the contributions of all American workers to the competitiveness and prosperity of our great nation, especially the merit shop construction workers who construct the buildings in which we live, learn and labor. #LaborDay2025

A merit shop construction worker makes the choice to not join organized labor and to keep the money that would otherwise go to union dues. The right of freedom of association includes choosing not to join an organization. #meritshopsbuildbest #NoPLAs #FreedomofAssociation

"Free markets have made life better, healthier and more prosperous in demonstrable ways for billions of people. Anticapitalists on both left and right struggle to make a serious case that things are worse now than they were 100 or 150 years ago. " wsj.com/opinion/capita…

As we enter the summer season, we wish you a safe and enjoyable vacation. For merit shop workers, up to 4 weeks of company-paid vacation is the norm. Just another reason 4 out of 5 construction workers in #MA choose to work for merit shops. #MApoli #meritbuildsbest #NoPLA

Municipalities & public agencies face unpredictable material costs out of their control. What they can control is achieving the best construction value through a fair, competitive bidding process open to all qualified contractors. #mapoli #NoPLAs bostonglobe.com/2025/05/12/met…

A step toward fair and open competition in federal construction bidding. It puts the taxpayers' interest ahead of union special interests. #mapoli #NoPLAs

Boston Globe editorial opposes Healey PLA order: "While the state’s construction workforce is more than 80 percent nonunion, Healey’s order and project labor agreements generally put the state’s thumb squarely on the side of union labor." #mapoli #NoPLAs bostonglobe.com/2025/03/17/opi…

@samanthajgross The @PioneerBoston agrees with the @BostonGlobe. PLAs are bad public policy, but @MassGovernor has abandoned #commonsense. pioneerinstitute.org/news/five-reas…

Across New England (and the nation), the construction workforce is dominated by merit shop employees who receive competitive pay, benefits, PTO, 401Ks, health & dental, & long-term, full-time job security, among other benefits. #mapoli #meritshops #construction #NoPLAs

A supermarjority of #Massachusetts #construction workers choose employment with a merit shop contractor over union membership. In 2024, 83.4% of the MA construction workforce were merit shop. That's an increase over 82.2% in 2023. #mapoli #meritshops

Manipulating the free market & blocking competition only increase construction costs. #PLAs & other demands - often wrapped in the flag of diversity - are designed to create union-only monopolies. On #PresidentsDay & every day, win with fair & open competition. #NoPLAs #mapoli

A low-income housing project is in jeopardy. A government-mandated project labor agreement is adding $5M to the $18M estimated construction cost, says a project official. PLAs add cost, not value. tinyurl.com/2p9ppjw4 #NoPLAs

"[R]emoving the PLA requirement would result in more contractor interest and, thus [a] more competitive bid environment . . .” said a federal government attorney, quoted in a recent court ruling striking down project labor agreements. #mapoli #noplas #PLA mca-ma.com/post/court-rul…

#MeritShop workers grew to 89.7% of the nation's #construction workforce in 2024, setting a new record high, per U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics figures. America's tradespeople are voting with their feet and wallets for merit shops over organized labor. tinyurl.com/2d6s4xx2
