Common Construction Wage Resolution <br />Page 2 <br />GIIC�, it has been reported that approximately 9.1% of the workforce in the State of Indiana <br />currently belongs to a union; and <br />Q6aw4 the Indiana Department of Labor's website has information dedicated to the Common <br />Construction Wage where "nearly all wage scales adopted from 2005 to the present are available; with the <br />most recent entry for the City of South Bend being made on January 7, 2015 for project # IDOL 20140696 <br />where wage rates were established by the Common Construction Wage Committee, who were appointed <br />pursuant to Indiana Code § 5 -16 -7 et seq for many classifications listing the total hourly highest and <br />lowest rates for skilled being $73.07 and $31.66; for semiskilled being $60.47 and $30.31; and unskilled <br />$52.19 and $16.95; and projects for St. Joseph County in 2011 through 2015 totaling 68; and <br />.Foray =om &affiwa&e -Y afe Cl mm-M& �.uutl9r'tle° %Y-0/0 ff a4jb!lo , <br />Section I. The Common Council recognizes that for the past eighty (80) years, Indiana's Common <br />Construction Wage codified at Indiana Code § 5- 16 -7 -1 et seq., has promoted "efficiency, quality, and safety by <br />providing for a stable, well - trained labor force" on public works projects throughout the state. <br />Section II. The two (2) Bills currently pending in the Indiana General Assembly would repeal this <br />state law which would result in a loss of higher wages and fringe benefits for both union and non -union <br />workers; and may undermine proper training for public construction workers similar to the 1930s when <br />workers from outside of the State of Indiana undercut Indiana contractors with less - skilled, lower paid <br />workforces. <br />Section III. The sponsors of the two pending Bills have yet to address any of the potential negative <br />results if either of these Bills are passed, such as how it would impact: <br />• Safety of the workers and the public <br />• Diversity of the workforce <br />• Training and apprenticeship programs <br />• Wages, health care and pension benefits <br />Section IV. Upon the adoption of this Resolution, the City Clerk shall send copies of this <br />Resolution to all elected state officials representing the City of South Bend requesting them to vote "no" <br />on these SB 198 and HB 1019. <br />Section V. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and after its adoption by the Common <br />Council and approval by the Mayor. <br />Henry Davis, Jr., 2n1 District <br />South Bend Common Council <br />
