The Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) is considering whether the construction of off-site, custom modular housing units for the Clarendon Hill project should fall under Massachusetts prevailing wage law.

This decision sets a precedent. If workers building publicly funded housing offsite are denied prevailing wages, it opens the door to exploitation, wage suppression, and outsourcing at the expense of Massachusetts workers

We must urge DLS to do the right thing: affirm that all working on public projects deserve prevailing wages - no matter where the construction happens
