Welcome to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Council. We are a voluntary member organization dedicated to preserving and strengthening the laws that protect the men and women who work in the building and construction trades industry. It is our goal to ensure that all workers on public works construction projects are paid the wages and benefits that they deserve and that a level playing field is maintained for all contractors who build and service our infrastructure needs throughout Illinois. Illinois has strong prevailing wage laws due in large part to Labor's efforts past and present along with a dedicated Department of Labor that looks out for workers to ensure their rights are protected. We will continue to work each and every day to help provide these protections to all working people and contractors who share in our mission by abiding by all provisions of the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act.
