This section requires the head of an executive agency (including the U.S. Postal Service) to obtain specified information on motor vehicle plants in bids for covered contracts (i.e., contracts relating to motor vehicle assembly) and to include related requirements in such contracts. **(a) Bid requirements.** Agencies must require each bid to include, for each relevant motor vehicle plant: (1) mailing address; (2) if multiple plants, a description of items made or assembled at each; (3) average, minimum, and maximum hourly wages of hourly employees; (4) number of temporary non-permanent employees; (5) disclosures of National Labor Relations Act violations; and (6) disclosures of Occupational Safety and Health Administration violations. **(b) Contract requirements.** Agencies must require covered contracts to include: (1) plant address and description information; (2) prior written agency permission to change plants (with new plant's wage, employee, and violation information); (3) same-day notification to affected labor organizations of plant change requests; and (4) an explicit neutrality policy on employee labor organizing at covered plants.
This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of federal funds, including any funds in the Postal Service Fund, for the purchase of delivery vehicles unless the Postal Service issues a change order to its contract with Oshkosh Defense requiring the contractor to (1) agree that its execution of and compliance with a bona fide union neutrality agreement (i.e., an agreement not to oppose union organizing efforts) is material to the government's payment decisions for purposes of the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(4)); and (2) certify that it will execute and comply with such an agreement covering all production employees within the scope of the contract.
