The lack of a PLA for the work at this project, which is projected to create about 28,000 construction jobs, came to the attention of Congressman Chris D'Aluisio, who represents Beaver county in Congress. We heard from workers that the project was being bid without the protections of a project labor Agreement, a pla. And I was worried that that would mean workers who were exploited, being underpaid, coming in from out of state. It could have cost us jobs for workers here in Western Pennsylvania. (00:58–01:05)
