The protections provided by the DavisBacon Act. the wages and benefits. are especially important to minority employees. As former Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall has observed. "The workers most often victimized by unscrupulous contracts are the minority workers. whether he or she is black. Hispanic. native American. or an undocumented worker. DavisBacon is an integral part of ensuring a decent life for the hardworking men and women of the construction industry. I think. without a doubt. we can note that the people who care about discrimination. people who care about being victimized by racism. people who have led the fight against discrimination in industry. even in the construction industry. are saying that DavisBacon is not the problem.
