[RE-wrenches] prevailing wages

[David Brearley]

My experience in Texas is consistent with Dana¹s.

The classifications are an odd fit. So we always made sure our technicians
knew what they had been classified as. Not that it really mattered to them
in practice. In my limited experience, working on projects with David-Bacon
Act requirements did not impact the crew in the field, and meeting the
prevailing wage standard was never an issue. Instead, the impact was in the
office and hit the bottom line in the form of higher administrative costs.
