LUBBOCK, Texas — On Monday, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in Lubbock granted the Lubbock Chamber’s motion for a nationwide preliminary injunction.

The ruling temporarily blocked the Lubbock Chamber-challenged provisions to a rule issued by the U.S. Department of Labor expanding coverage of the Davis-Bacon Act (DBA). The chamber challenged the agency’s “unlawful expansion” of coverage to truck drivers and material suppliers owned and operated by general contractors or subcontractors.

The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce was joined by co-plaintiffs Associated General Contractors of Texas, and J. Lee Milligan, Inc. and the Associated General Contractors of America.
