Prevailing wage on BEAD projects remains a burning issue in Pennsylvania as evidenced by this week’s petition filed by the Broadband Cable Association of Pa. Sent to the Department of Labor and Industry, the missive formally requests a hearing and investigation on industry-specific wage classifications.

With the BEAD application window closing in the coming days, we needed to take bold action to ensure a level playing field and that taxpayer money is used to its maximum benefit.” Stay tuned.
