119th Congress
H.R. 10402

Adds labor rules to Energy Department financial aid

Companies getting Energy Department grants, loans, or other aid would have to pay local prevailing wages, use apprentices, stay neutral on unions, and show community benefits.

  • Grants, loans, and other aid would require wages matching local prevailing rates
  • At least 15 percent of project labor hours must go to registered apprentices
  • Department facility work over $1,000,000 would require a project labor agreement
  • Manufacturing cannot move overseas during aid or for 5 years after, unless the Energy Secretary approves
