Event Details
Join ABC Rocky Mountain for our June Business & Breakfast: Project Labor Agreements (PLAs)!
Enjoy breakfast and presentation from ABC Rocky Mountain CEO & President, Jack Tate, on Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). Learn about how PLAs can affect your business and get your questions about PLAs answered. Breakfast will begin at 7:30 AM, with the presentation beginning at 8:00 AM, followed by a Q&A session.
PLAs, established early in the 20th century, are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements between building trade unions and contractors. They govern terms and conditions of employment for all craft workers, union and non-union, on a construction project.
Though all contractors are technically free to bid on construction contracts subject to government-mandated PLAs, the terms of a PLA typically force contractors to recognize unions as the representatives of their employees on a job; use the union hiring hall to obtain workers; hire apprentices exclusively through union apprenticeship programs; pay fringe benefits into union-managed benefits and multi-employer pension programs; and obey the unions’ restrictive and inefficient work rules and job classifications.
