In addition to his union work, Dennis Martire has also worked hand-in-hand with Montgomery County, Maryland officials to pass a prevailing wage law as a way of making sure working families could count on fair wages from their employers. Dennis also knows that such wage laws also serve another purpose; to ensure that taxpayers receive a greater return on their public investments. Most relevant studies show that prevailing wage laws do not drive up costs for employers, but they do improve worker efficiency, which means public works projects are completed faster and more easily, which is better for taxpayers and maximizes their investments.
