CWA effort in Federal Way The City of Federal Way is reviewing the option of a harmful government-mandated Community Workforce Agreement (CWA)/Project Labor Agreement (PLA). AGC remains committed to open and fair competition and has been working to educate elected officials and the City’s public-works director for the last couple of months on why a CWA in Federal Way would not work
