The resolution urges the United States Congress and the President to repeal Executive Order 14063, which mandates the use of project labor agreements for federal construction projects with an estimated cost of $35 million or more. A project labor agreement is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement with a labor organization, and the resolution highlights that this requirement could restrict employment opportunities for South Dakotans who are not members of a labor organization, particularly in the context of construction projects at Ellsworth Air Force Base.

The resolution emphasizes that South Dakota is a right-to-work state, meaning individuals cannot be compelled to join a labor organization. By requiring project labor agreements, the resolution argues that non-union workers would be effectively barred from participating in federal construction projects, which could negatively impact local employment. Therefore, the resolution calls for legislative action to eliminate this requirement, thereby promoting broader access to job opportunities for all workers in South Dakota.
