The third would require every job associated with the Manufacturing Zone to carry health insurance for the worker and pay at least $15 per hour.

First, the amendments cover not only direct employees of Foxconn, but also the employees of suppliers to and Contractors of Foxconn. This means that additional manufacturing jobs related to Foxconn will be good, family-sustaining jobs that pay decent wages as well. Amendment 1: Requires a $15 wage floor, beginning in 2020 and increasing with inflation annually. The existing legislation mentions a $30,000/year baseline, but that is only the level at which FoxConn can claim tax Credits, not @ solid wage floor for all workers. Some have also mentioned an “average” salary, but of course averages can be skewed upward by a few very large salaries. We must ensure a wage floor so that all workers actually receive a living wage. ‘The amendment also establishes a requirement that FoxConn secure a labor peace agreement that no strikes, pickets, boycotts, or other economic action will be pursued by a labor organization involved in organizing Foxconn workers. What Foxconn negotiates with the other party as consideration in such an agreement we would not specify. This is the most conservative approach to requiring anything of Foxconn regarding labor relations and one that is unquestionably legal as per what state government may do under federal labor law pre-emption doctrine. Amendment 2: Requires FoxConn to negotiate a private agreement substantially similar to what emerged from the Bucks arena & surrounding development, prior to execution of any contract with the state or WEDC. My understanding is that those involved in the end-use jobs agreement on the Bucks arena and surrounding development are prepared to engage with Foxconn. Let me know if I can provide any other information.
