The act makes it compulsory for all the construction workers to get the necessary wages while working on government related construction projects such as repairing, painiting, alterations etc.
As for me, I too believe that the DBA act can be repealed as there are many reasons behind it. First of all the act has many flaws which leads to have deviation in the amount with that of the market wages in different countries. Some countries have nearly double the rate of DBA rates than the market wages whereas some countries have minimum the rates of DBA wages. The flaws in the act created this deviation in determination of the prevailing wages. It has also been head that general auditors too found much number of errors in the wages report and many of them are actually out of date. Besides, the act is also not giving economic justification to all the private as well as public employees as private employees don't have the same level of purchasing power which also makes the inequality. From the economic point of view, the government can make many more infrastructures with the prevailing wages which is a benefit for the economy. Due to the DBA law, minor contractors face a huge problem as they are unable to train the unskilled workers for their work.
Hope this helps :)
