Most significant update to federal labor rule in 40 years could put thousands of extra dollars every year in construction workers' pockets.

In a nod to labor unions, President Joe Biden is moving to boost wages for construction workers on projects paid for with federal funding, a step that would appeal to a key constituency ahead of next year’s presidential election and potentially shrink the pay gap between northern and southern states.

    1980 was 40 years ago. Biden probably is unaware of this.

    You mean he’s younger than 40?

    We need to get rid of these geriatric politicians.

    40 is too old?
