Prevailing Wage Survey

The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) announced that it is conducting a Wage-and-Hour Survey for several classifications of construction workers. The information collected from the Wage-and-Hour Survey will be used to establish prevailing wage rates to be paid to workers on public works jobs governed by Chapter 39.12 RCW. The current survey affects only the following six trades:

1. Certified Asbestos Abatement Workers
2. Fence Erectors and Fence Laborers
3. Flaggers
4. Hod Carriers, Mason Tenders and Mortarmen
5. Laborers in Utilities Construction
6. Laborers (includes Cleanup Laborers and Carpenter Tenders)
