More Members, More Clout

As the economy is continuing to prove challenging and the political climate continues to change, ABC is fighting even harder to keep bidding free and open so that you can fairly and competitively bid on projects.  ABC has seen an increase in union attempts to place Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) on public works projects, as well as an increase in job targeting on private work.  So, it is imperative, now more than ever, that the merit shop contractors ban together to stop PLA progress.  We need YOU to be part of this revolution.
