WHEREAS, a project labor agreement, as provided for in 48 C.F.R. ยง 22.502, is a pre-hire 7

WHEREAS, in awarding a contract for a construction project, a federal agency shall require 9
a contractor or subcontractor engaged in a federal government construction project to agree 10
to negotiate or become a party to a project labor agreement with a labor organization; and 11
WHEREAS, the Ellsworth Air Force Base, located in South Dakota, is a federal property 12

and 14
WHEREAS, South Dakota is a right-to-work state and does not require a person to join a 15
labor organization; and 16

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Senate of the One Hundredth Legislature of 20
