But he added:“American workers are now over 400%more productive than they were back thenand continued technological advances arelikely to increase the gap between workerproductivity and worker gains.”Going to a legally defined 32-hour workweek, according to Sanders, would lowerthe “maximum hours threshold for overtimecompensation for non-exempt employees.”In the process, it would “require overtimepay at time and a half for workdays longerthan eight hours, and overtime pay atdouble a worker’s regular pay for workdays

longer than 12 hours.”Sanders’ proposal has won the support ofthe AFL-CIO, United Auto Workers, andService Employees International Union,among other labor groups. The publicationNew University has suggested that an official32-hour work week would allow workers to“either reduce their hours entirely or to beproperly compensated for the extraovertime they have clocking in.”But an opinion piece published last week bythe Mackinac Center for Public Policycontends that the average American workertoday “works five fewer hours per weekcompared to the 1960s. And real householdincome is up by more than 30% in the last 40years.”Forcing employers to let workers havefewer hours for the same pay, continues theessay, “would lead to decisions that aren’t inworkers’ interest. That means job cuts,benefit reductions, small business closures,and more.”Louisiana Republican Bill Cassidy hassimilarly criticized Sanders’ proposal, sayingthat it will “kneecap the American economywith something that purports to be good forthe American worker, but indeed will lead tooffshoring of jobs seeking a lower-cost laborforce.”Sanders’ legislation is currently underreview in the Senate Committee on Health,Education, Labor and Pensions.44BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva ProDUBAI INTERNATIONALAIRPORT PLANS NEWPROJECT WORTH $35BILLIONBy Robert Besser, NewMexicoStateNew.Net05/01/2024DUBAI, The UAE: Over the weekend, SheikhMohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Rulerof Dubai, said Dubai International Airportwill move to a larger airfield in the emirate'ssouthern desert "within the next 10 years,"under a project worth nearly US$35 billion.Sheikh Mohammed's announcement is partof the recovery efforts of local long-haulcarrier Emirates after the COVID-19pandemic grounded international travel.

106Efforts to build more affordable housing inColorado may see an increase if a billaddressing land use issues is approved thisyear by the state legislature.The measure, titled simply “Housing inTransit-Oriented Communities,” willprovide incentives for the construction ofnew housing projects built within thevicinity of a transit station.As proposed by Democrat RepresentativeSteven Woodrow, House Bill 1313 wouldrequire local governments to plan and put inplace what are called “density goals” topromote the building of more transited-oriented housing.DENVER LAWMAKERSTO DECIDE ON MUCH-DEBATED LAND-USEBILLBy Garry Boulard, The Built Environment05/01/2024Copyright: Canva proThe legislation would establish bothtechnical assistance as well as a grantprogram to support the building of suchprojects. Cities and localities failing tocomply could end up losing funding for anarray of projects funded through the federalHighway Users Tax Fund.The bill has won the support of DenverMayor Mike Johnston, who, according tothe web publication Colorado Politics,characterized it as a “balanced approach toland use that pushes local governments inthe right direction.”Leaders in other Colorado cities and towns,however, have come out against the idea. Inlate March members of the Lafayette CityCouncil, for example, voted unanimously tooppose HB 1313 saying that it ultimatelyguts local home rule rights.Continue >SOUTHWESTLEGISLATIONBUILTENVIRONMENT

107“While the bill is well-intentioned, it is complicated and complex and has some very seriousflaws we should be aware of,” Lafayette City Planning and Building Director remarked duringa council meeting. Altogether, some 90 Colorado city governments have gone on record against the proposal.In a column written for the Denver Post, Woodrow and fellow Democrat RepresentativeIman Jodeh said HB 1313 provides an opportunity to “pave the way for a more sustainableand equitable future where Coloradoans don’t need to drive hours every day to work.”The measure is now under review in the Colorado State Senate.BUILTENVIRONMENTA coalition of business and industry groupsin Colorado have decided to go to court inopposition to a series of new rulesaddressing green building issues.In their suit filed in the U.S. District Courtfor the District of Colorado in Denver, theColorado Apartment Association,Apartment Association of Metro Denver,the Colorado Hotel and LodgingAssociation, and the state chapter of NAIOP—the commercial real estate developmentassociation, said that the new rules areproving unnecessarily onerous.Specifically mentioning that those rules, aspromulgated by both the State of Coloradoand City of Denver, have addressedthemselves to the performance of heatingand cooling systems in structures, thelitigants are also asserting that the costs ofcompliance will inevitably be handed downto tenants.Continues >GREENHOUSE BUILDINGGAS RULES FACINGLEGAL CHALLENGE INBOTH DENVER ANDLARGER COLORADOBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 04/25/2024Copyright: Canva pro

108“They’re attacking a small emission problem with a very expensive fix,” Andrew Hamrick,senior vice president for both apartment associations, said of the new rules to the DenverPost.At the heart of the new rules is a push to do away with natural gas use in large office andcommercial buildings, as well as apartment complexes. This means that building owners, inorder to comply with the rules, will be required to do away with all natural gas heatingsystems.Three years ago, the Denver City Council gave its approval to the Energize Denver plan,which called for reducing by 100% all greenhouse gas emissions for large buildings in the citywithin the next two decades. The Colorado State Legislature additionally passed a measurerequiring buildings measuring more than 50,000 square feet to see a 20% reduction ingreenhouse gas emissions by the year 2030.According to reports, up to 8,000 large building owners across Colorado could be compelledto spend more than $3.1 billion in order to comply with the new rules. A report publishedearlier this year by the Colorado Springs Gazette said that over the course of the next threedecades, owners will be compelled to spend upwards of $2.6 billion on retrofitting projects,along with $61 million in labor and related costs.The heart of the lawsuit filed by the groups is simple: they are asking the court to discardboth the state and city regulations on the matter.BUILTENVIRONMENTCopyright: Canva pro

109BUILTENVIRONMENTNATIONALLEGISLATIONAround four million workers will qualify forovertime pay beginning in January once anew rule just released by the Department ofLabor is enacted.The Labor Department’s rule increases thesalary threshold for overtime pay from justunder the current nearly $44,000 to around$58,600. The Department has furtherannounced that such salary thresholds willbe routinely updated every three years,beginning on July 1, 2027.AFTER MONTHS OFSTUDY, DEPARTMENTOF LABOR ANNOUNCESSWEEPING NEWOVERTIME RULEBy Garry Boulard, Construction Reporter 04/26/2024Copyright: Canva proThe new rule, said Julie Su, acting director ofthe Labor Department, “will restore thepromise to people that if you work morethan 40 hours a week, you should be paid forthat time.”“Too often, lower-paid salaried workers aredoing the same job as their hourlycounterparts but are spending more timeaway from their families for no additionalpay,” Su continued in a statement, adding:“That is unacceptable.”The overtime ruling has been a long timecoming. In 2016, then-President Obamaasked the Labor Department to increase thesalary threshold to $47,476 a year. Thataction was subsequently subject to litigationon behalf of nearly half of the states and ahost of business groups, leading to apreliminary injunction issued by a federaljudge in Texas. Continue >

110In the summer of 2017 the Trump Administration announced that it would not go to bat forthe new threshold.The overtime issue has been particularly criticized by smaller businesses which havecontended that an increased threshold would prove economically burdensome. “This will notjust increase costs for small businesses, but ultimately the consumers as well,” remarkedAnne Reinke, chief executive officer of the Transportation Intermediaries Association.In the wake of the new DOL rule, Chris Netram, vice president of policy for the NationalAssociation of Manufacturers, said the action places new constraints on employers, and“reduces flexibility for the workers who will be reclassified.”Netram additionally remarked that the DOL action may “force companies to make painfulchoices that will limit both job creation and growth opportunities available to employees.”Liz Shuler, president of the AFL-CIO characterized the new rule as one that is important forworking families. The AFL-CIO leader earlier remarked that “employers who do not wish topay additional overtime will now no longer be able to rely on unpaid overtime, and insteadwill have to reassess the way they distribute workloads to their employees.”BUILTENVIRONMENTThe White House released a final rule April30 to speed up National EnvironmentalPolicy Act reviews for major infrastructureprojects and increase communityengagement early enough in a project’sdevelopment to avoid unnecessary lawsuits.The Biden administration, along withenvironmental groups, say the rule–released by the Council of EnvironmentalQuality–will ensure that critical energy,broadband and other major infrastructureprojects are built quickly and reduceadverse impacts on environmental justicecommunities.Continue reading >ADMINISTRATIONPERMIT RULE HASDEADLINES, PAGELIMITS BUT STILLWORRIES INDUSTRYBy Pam McFarland, ENR04/30/2024Copyright: Canva pro
