Contractors must flow these clauses to subcontractors and provide employees information about refunds and reductions for charges unrelated to collective bargaining.
It affects contracting departments, contractors, subcontractors, vendors, and employees on government or federally funded projects. The Secretary of Labor will enforce the order, investigate complaints, hold hearings, and may impose sanctions such as contract cancellation or debarment.
