X	RC 585: The vote was on an amendment to prohibit the use of funds to be used to administer or enforce the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act, except with respect to a contract that exceeds $20 million.
X	RC 44: This vote was to eliminate the 2013 statutory pay adjustment for Federal employees.

X	RC 395: The vote was on an amendment to Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2012, which eliminate the “Davis Bacon” prevailing wage rate requirement for federal projects funded by the 2011 appropriation act. Because this has typically been equivalent to the prevailing union wage, the law makes it harder for non-union contractors to compete for those projects.
X	RC 33: To amend title 49, United States Code, to authorize appropriations for the Federal Aviation Administration for fiscal years 2011 through 2014, to streamline programs, create efficiencies, reduce waste, and improve aviation safety and capacity, to provide stable funding for the national aviation system, and for other purposes.

X	RC 212: The vote was on an amendment to the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2011 to prohibit Federal Aviation Administration employees from using official—that is, taxpayer sponsored—time for union activities during the official workday. It would not repeal the right of any FAA employee to collectively bargain or arbitrate.
X	RC 144: The vote was on an amendment to Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011, which eliminate the “Davis Bacon” prevailing wage rate requirement for federal projects funded by the 2011 appropriation act. Because this has typically been equivalent to the prevailing union wage, the law makes it harder for non-union contractors to compete for those projects.
X	RC 126: The vote was an amendment to Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011, which would prohibit the use of funds to enter into government contracts that require contractors to adopt project labor agreement, which favor impose “prevailing wage” and other requirements that advantage unionized contractors at the expense of non-union ones.

X	RC 075: The vote was an amendment to Continuing Appropriations Act of 2011, which would eliminate funding for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Under the Obama administration, the NLRB has been making repeated efforts to go around Congress by trying to enact policy changes that are biased toward organized labor’s goals—including card check-like organizing methods like remote electronic voting.
