The two largest cities in the state passed the ordinances in January but were not going to become law until July, according to Courthouse News Service. <\/p>\n<p>While proponents of the ordinances say it would help workers get better compensation, critics worried that it would make contract work more complicated. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-calls-new-yorks-covid-19-restrictions-discriminatory-sides-with-religious-leaders\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Calls New York\u2019s COVID-19 Restrictions \u2018Discriminatory,\u2019 Sides With Religious Leaders\">court\u2019<\/a>s decision, which upholds the principles of a free market and removes unnecessary burdens from contractors,\u201d David Martin, President of the Arizona Chapter of the Associated General Contractors said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/emergency-wisconsin-lawsuit-to-stop-certification-challenges-nearly-160000-votes\/\" title=\"Emergency Wisconsin Lawsuit To Stop Certification Challenges Nearly 160,000 Votes\">news release<\/a> from the Goldwater Institute. <\/p>\n<p>Phoenix City Councilwoman Betty Guardado said it was disappointing news for those who work for the city, calling the ordinance a \u201ccritical tool\u201d for workers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am deeply disappointed by the Maricopa County Superior Court\u2019s decision to deny the City\u00a0the right to ensure those working within its purview receive fair living wages, improved benefits,\u00a0and safer working conditions,\u201d she said in a statement on Monday. \u201cWhen we as a Council passed this ordinance, our hope was that we might uplift our hardworking labor force and guarantee higher quality construction projects for our City by eliminating wage disparities caused by market fluctuations.
