Obama executive order favors union labor

Obama executive order favors union labor: "President Barack Obama on Friday issued an executive order backing the use of union labor for large-scale federal construction projects.

The order encourages federal agencies to have construction contractors and subcontractors enter project labor agreements. Those agreements require contractors to negotiate with union officials, recognize union wages and benefits and generally abide by collective-bargaining agreements.

Obama's order restores a Clinton administration order that was revoked by President George W. Bush"
