Securing A Stronger Future for Workers Through Prevailing Wage
When it comes to prevailing wage law, we find there is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion around what it really means.
What are the economic benefits?
How does it impact business owners and taxpayers?
Does prevailing wage increase construction costs?
WBTC welcomes these conversations so we can protect and secure a stronger future for a diverse workforce in our Wisconsin communities.
Our goals are big, from advocating for workers’ benefits, compensation, and safety to advancing initiatives to increase workforce diversity. We are committed to excellence in everything we do.
