Reject the Faster Labor Contracts Act!
The FLCA would allow federal government-appointed arbitrators to set the terms of first contracts between unions and employers even if the parties don't agree on the terms.
Binding arbitration is not the American way.

"Frankly, it’s becoming difficult to contextualize the size and speed of this boom. Data center construction spending leapt another 7.5% in August and is now up more than 73% over the past 12 months."

“Thanks to Kansas Senate President and gubernatorial candidate Ty Masterson for visiting the ABC Heart of America training facility today.
Senator Masterson toured our facility, saw firsthand how we are training the next generation of skilled craft professionals, and sat down with our member contractors to talk about the issues that matter most to the construction trades, from workforce development to keeping Kansas a place where merit shop contractors can compete and grow.
We appreciate his time and his interest in hearing directly from the people who build Kansas.”

⚖️ Federal construction competition is tightening. Contractors are fighting back—and winning.
Bid protests filed with the U.S. Court of Federal Claims have been exceptionally successful in overturning PLA requirements on federal projects of $35 million or more.
