"Get Into Politics, or Get Out of Business"
ABC has always made government affairs the core of our mission. No other group represents you as a contractor like ABC. On the state and federal level, our members and staff lobby for a radical notion: fair and free competition in contracting without excessive government mandates or intrusion.
Although it is a simple concept, ABC is constantly beating back attempts to impose discriminatory laws and regulation. We utilize a combination of professional staff, grassroots action, and political endorsements to promote our agenda at the Capitol.
Our top issues are:- Stop unethical kickbacks that distort the bidding process (job targeting).
- Stop government-sanctioned employment discrimination (union-only project labor agreements).
- Reform and limit government-imposed wage scales (prevailing wage).
- Promote healthy development of the construction marketplace, including responsible green building standards.
