Although promoted as a bill to protect the right of workers to organize, the potential effect of the Card-Check Bill is to dramatically increase the ranks of union members and increase dues paid by employees to the unions. Why?  

Most California contractors are no doubt familiar with the Division of Labor Statistics and Research's ("DLSR") determinations establishing the prevailing wage rate for public works projects. These determinations are accessible on the DLSR's website, and set forth the applicable hourly wage rate for workers on these projects depending on their classification. The determination that will apply to a contractor will be one existing at the time of the contract bid date.
