Virginia fails to stop use of union labor on Dulles project

The Virginia Senate on Tuesday struck down a measure that would have prevented officials building the Dulles Metrorail project from signing onto a labor agreement that favors the use of union labor, the Washington Examiner reports.

The House already passed a bill that promised to withhold $150 million in state funding for phase two of the rail project if officials insisted on using union labor. But the Senate killed the measure Tuesday on a 19-20 vote. Opponents of the bill said restricting the labor agreements would endanger the $6 billion project.
