GROWING THE ECONOMY & CREATING JOBS
Senator Favola knows that children and families thrive when breadwinners earn enough to take care of their families. Barbara has fought for a living wage and as a member of the Arlington County Board, she ensured that County contracts were issued to businesses willing to pay a living wage. Senator Favola is a strong partner with local labor organizations. She vigorously defends Project Labor Agreements (PLA), reminding folks that PLAs enable employers to require certain quality and safety standards within a designated budget. Senator Favola proudly notes that the first phase of the Silver Line Metro extension was build on-time and within budget as a result of a PLA.
