A Resolution recognizing June 16, 2026, as "Merit Shop Day" in Pennsylvania.

This bill is a symbolic resolution that designates June 16, 2026, as "Merit Shop Day" throughout Pennsylvania to honor the construction industry. It directly affects construction contractors who operate based on free enterprise and select workers based on merit rather than union affiliation. The text highlights the sector's role in employing thousands of workers, fostering apprenticeship programs, and maintaining essential infrastructure across the state. By recognizing these contributions, the resolution aims to acknowledge the economic and community value provided by non-union construction businesses.
