Federal agencies could not require construction firms to sign union labor deals. They also could not ban those deals. Contractors could still choose them on their own.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
FOCA Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Latest action on H.R. 2126: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects construction companies that bid on federal work or federally funded projects. It also affects subcontractors, unions, nonunion workers, and public agencies that manage construction money. States, cities, and other groups using federal funds would need to make sure their bid papers do not require or ban union labor agreements.
Why this matters: This bill could change who competes for public construction work and how labor rules are set on those projects. Today, some projects may use project labor agreements as part of the bidding or project plan. This bill would keep the government from requiring or banning those agreements. The outcome for costs, schedules, worker conditions, and project quality is uncertain and would depend on how contractors and agencies respond.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
