TEMPE, Ariz. – Oct. 9, 2015 – Torres Consulting & Law Group clients were victorious in the recent U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage survey for Plumbers, Pipefitters and Sheet Metal workers in every county in Colorado. The U.S. Department of Labor Survey Results have been posted for the Colorado Building Survey Conducted by the DOL for projects that were active and ongoing between April 1, 2012 and March 3, 2013. The Secretary of Labor establishes the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage rates by trade classification, type of work and geographic location. Prevailing wages are primarily set using data submitted voluntarily during a Davis-Bacon Wage Survey. Participation in a wage survey process is an essential part of securing a union prevailing wage rate. As the DOL conducts surveys infrequently, it is an important opportunity to ensure that union rate prevails. TCLG compliance staff plays a keys role in ensuring participation in the wage survey process.
