Union-only PLAs are just one of many tactics construction labor unions and unionized contractors utilize to eliminate competition from merit shop contractors.

Whether it is greenmail, job targeting, pro-union "responsible" contractor laws passed by political cronies, or corporate campaigns against contractors and construction owners, construction labor unions are not ashamed to utilize questionable tactics to regain lost market share and achieve a monopoly over work in specific construction markets.
