Ashland PWA wage dispute over local skilled labor costs

The PWA inspection division found 19 carpenters worked on Hanover County’s new Ashland high school, with one back-paid to $1.10 per hour. Back pay totaled $87.50, while 18 others could not be clearly identified for the same wage. The board argued the work required more than one carpenter and noted the building remains well-constructed. The Woodstock high school project proceeds, and Shenandoah County hosts the only PWA site in the area. Rockingham County has about 14 PWA projects, with no Wage complaints reported. Skyline Drive projects remain under Interior Department supervision. No PWA work in Clarke, Frederick, or Warren counties.
