House passes prevailing wage exemption for schools

House passes prevailing wage exemption for schools


Democrats like Representative Michael Frame (D-Eureka) say the legislation is about labor and wages.
“I’ve heard it admitted on this House floor that if this legislation is successful, wages will be cut.”
Representative Mike Colona (D-St. Louis City) tells proponents their bill will hurt workers.
“You’re also going to have to go back to your constituents and say, ‘Hey, I cut your pay. You’re making less money, and in fact … that bus coming up from Texas? Those folks are going to be doing your jobs. So not only did I cut your pay, but you’re going to be out of a job.”
