professional and technical services industry."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Professional_Services_Council#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> It has around 370 member corporations.

an order issued by President Obama in 2014 that aims to ensure that

In a 2015 statement to the House Committee on Education and the
Workforce, then-PSC President Stan Soloway claimed, "There is no
evidence of a widespread problem of pervasive, repeated or willful
violations of labor laws by federal contractors," and called the order
"a de facto blacklisting of well-intentioned, ethical businesses."<sup id="cite_ref-soloway_testimony_3-0" class="reference"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Professional_Services_Council#cite_note-soloway_testimony-3">[3]</a></sup>
However, many of PSC's member companies and/or their subsidiaries
have multiple serious violations of Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) workplace safety standards that would be
actionable under the EO.

day, American workers are killed and injured on the job. From
explosions, electrocutions, and toxic fumes to more common falls or
crushing injuries, lives are altered and families irreparably torn
apart.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">For too long, many corporations have taken a cavalier attitude to
worker safety, but when these corporations are federal contractors paid
by U.S. taxpayers, the public demands a special level of accountability.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">That is why President Obama issued the <a href="http://ed.sourcewatch.org/swtest/index.php/Fair_Pay_and_Safe_Workplaces_Executive_Order" target="_blank">Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order</a>
(EO) in 2014. The order requires federal contractors to report their
safety record to the federal government as a condition for receiving
federal contracts. It is a good first step toward holding repeat,
serious violators to account and protects more than <a href="http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/regs/compliance/aa.htm">26 million workers or 1 in 5 in the workforce.</a></font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">But some of these federal contractors are pulling out the stops,
urging the Obama administration to withdraw new rules providing worker
protections and using little-known trade organizations to do the dirty
work for them.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><h2><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Companies Use Little-Known Trade Associations to Lobby Against Accountability</font></h2><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Federal contractors are pushing back hard on the EO, with two trade associations leading the charge: the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Professional_Services_Council" target="blank">Professional Services Council</a> (PSC) and the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/HR_Policy_Association" target="blank">HR Policy Association</a> (HRPA).</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The PSC, with 370 member companies, calls itself "<a href="http://www.pscouncil.org/i/a/The_PSC_Mission/c/a/The_PSC_Mission/About_PSC.aspx?hkey=d138b175-d0a3-4f0e-9234-b6e3d11027b5" target="_blank">the leading advocate and resource for the federal professional and technical services industry</a>."
The HRPA represents more than 360 corporations in the U.S., many of
them federal contractors, and describes itself as "the lead public
policy organization of chief human resource officers."</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Both associations have taken strong stands in the media,
congressional testimony, and lobbying asserting that the EO is
unnecessary because, <a href="http://edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/soloway_testimony.pdf" target="_blank">according to the PSC</a>,
there is "no evidence of a widespread problem of pervasive, repeated or
willful violations of labor laws by federal contractors." In <a href="http://www.hrpolicy.org/downloads/2015/15-53_Comments_on_Blacklisting_EO.pdf" target="_blank">HRPA's words</a>, "The Order simply seeks to solve a problem that does not exist."</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">The <a href="http://edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/soloway_testimony.pdf" target="_blank">PSC concedes</a>
that there are "instances" where contractors have violated labor laws,
and some of these "may well have been intentional." But "the laws
involved are so complex and challenging to execute that many companies,
sometimes at the direction of the government itself, take actions that
result in honest mistakes." These "honest, administrative errors," the
PSC asserts, "make up the vast bulk of ‘violations.'" And existing
accountability mechanisms are more than sufficient to deal with cases
where there has been "nefarious intent."</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
</font><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Yet a closer look at the companies whose senior executives sit on <a href="http://www.pscouncil.org/i/a/Board_of_Directors_and_Executive_Committee/c/a/BoardofDirectorsandExecutiveCommittee1/Board_of_Directors.aspx?hkey=639baaac-4130-489b-9ad5-ecc35fd90bbc" target="blank">PSC's</a> and <a href="http://www.hrpolicy.org/about/board-of-directors" target="_blank">HRPA's</a>
Boards of Directors undermines these assertions. By CMD's count, at
least ten firms (or their subsidiaries) whose officials sit on these
boards have histories of labor law violations which would be reportable
under the EO, including numerous violations that occurred even after the
order was signed in July 2014.</font></p><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">
