[10] The implementation of project work contracts is supported by construction unions[55] and by some political figures who say that it is necessary to ensure that large, complex projects are completed on time and on time. [56] In the view of those who support the use of such agreements, THE PLA allows project owners to control costs and ensure that there is no disruption to the construction plan, for example.

[58] They also note that the AEPs ensure that the recruited workforce is trained and of high quality. [58] The use of PLA in large private projects such as the construction of gillette Stadium of the New England Patriots is cited as an example of how PLA project owners are helping to meet tight deadlines, according to fans. [56] In addition to the reported benefits to project owners, PLA proponents also argue that the use of PLA has a positive impact on local communities by setting targets for local hiring and education provision. [59] Studies have shown that PLA project owners and local communities have advantages and penalize contractors and non-union workers. A 2009 study by Fred B. Kotler, J.D., associate director of Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations, found that there was no evidence that PMAs discriminate pending employers and workers, limit the number of bidders and increase construction costs.

Bodah of the University of Rhode Island and Peter Philips of the University of Utah said that instead of increasing costs, the agreements would bring benefits to the community. According to your report, the cost of the project is directly related to the complexity of a project, not to the existence of an agreement.
