    Ordinance calls for union-scale mandate - By Howard Greninger, Terre Haute Tribune Star, IN
    A proposed Terre Haute city ordinance would require any company that obtains a tax abatement to pay workers at union-scale construction wages to construct or renovate a building.

    It also requires contractors and subcontractors on tax-abatement supported projects to hire workers as employees, not as independent contractors, which would require providing coverage of health-care benefits to workers "at a reasonable cost."
