Commanders Agree to Labor Standards on Stadium, Commercial Parcels
“When construction projects in the District don’t have PLAs, workers tend to get exploited by shady contractors who steal their wages.”
Major projects such as the redevelopment of Capital One Arena and the forthcoming RFK stadium project are fueling unprecedented demand for skilled construction labor.
A solid majority wants the RFK package to include a PLA that covers stadium, hotels and restaurants.
The grants are the first round of funding in a six-year, $24 million investment that aims to expand the pipeline of highly skilled workers to build Maryland’s critical transportation infrastructure.

Council calls for “a fair deal that protects workers with quality jobs during stadium construction.”
Building trades call for RFK project to include a project labor agreement (PLA) that supports local hiring requirements.
