 |
 |
 |
| Duncan (R-SC) amendment to the 2011 appropriations bill that would have struck all funding for the Legal Services Corporation from the budget bill. ACU has always opposed this wasteful program which has been used primarily to expand the welfare state and was found by a GAO study to be rife with waste, fraud and abuse and supported this amendment. | |||||

|
No Vote | |
| Guinta (R-NH) amendment to the 2011 appropriations bill that would bar funds to enforce Project Labor Agreements, which force companies that seek government contracts to agree to union demands. | |||||
| 2011-02-19 | Federal Pay Freeze [HR1] | Rejected (191-230) |
|
No Vote | |
| Issa (R-CA) amendment to include federal pay step increases given for seniority in the federal pay freeze. They have been exempt from the current freeze as have pay increases given for living or working in high cost cities, such as Washington, DC. ACU supports a pay freeze that actually freezes federal pay. | |||||
| 2011-02-19 | Limiting Davis-Bacon Wage Requirements [HR1] | Rejected (189-233) |
|
No Vote | |
| King (R-IA) amendment to the 2011 appropriations bill barring the use of funds to enforce the Davis-Bacon Act. This requires federal projects to pay workers the "prevailing" wage, usually union wage rates which are often well above the local market rate. This adds billions of dollars in cost to federal programs and adds to the deficit. | |||||
