President Obama has signed four executive orders that will greatly impact federal government contractors. These orders require the following:
- All federal contractors must post notices informing employees of their rights to form and join unions (EO 13496);
- All federal contractors may not seek reimbursement for funds spent on influencing employees regarding unionization (EO 13494);
- All federal contractors succeeding to a service contract must provide job opportunities to employees of the previous service contractor (EO 13495); and
- Directed federal agencies taking bids for government construction projects in excess of $25 million to accept only those from contractors who agree in advance to a project labor agreement that requires a union workforce (EO 13502).
