Project Labor Agreement

A Project Labor Agreement (PLA) is an agreement between an employer and a union that sets guidelines for a particular construction project. The agreement usually covers things like how many workers will be hired, what wages they will be paid, how many hours they can work, and how grievances will be handled. The goal of a PLA is to make sure that the project is completed on time and on budget, and to ensure that all workers are treated fairly. It's a type of contract used to make sure that everything goes smoothly and that everyone gets what they need for the project.
