ABC believes that public projects should be bid and awarded to the lowest responsible bidder regardless of labor affiliation.
Project Labor Agreements
ABC opposes union-only project labor agreements and apprenticeship requirements. Prevailing Wage
ABC supports reforms to the state’s prevailing wage act so that prevailing wages more accurately reflect wages paid in the private sector and public construction is provided at comparable cost to private construction.Apprenticeship
ABC supports apprenticeship as a training model, but opposes mandates requiring the use of state-approved apprentices. ABC also supports reforms to eliminate unnecessary, costly and time-consuming application and approval processes that discourage or discriminate against qualified applicant programs.
