Its not. Its the wage that must be paid regardless of being union or non-union, if any company gets the bid they must pay these rates if the contract received any state funding. Any federal funding also invokes another prevailing wage, and many localities also have a prevailing wage law, the highest takes precedence. Any school, university, prison, state park public road, public utility, public building, etc subjects the contractor to these wage rates regardless of union or non union shop. Non union shops can choose not to pay fringe benefits and employees can take total comp. Every non union shop does it different, the laborers are still getting 38/hr with full fringe.
