Home » Construction industry wants a seat at the (political) table
The Construction Employers of America asked the Chairs of the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee and Republican National Convention’s Platform Committee to include in their parties’ official platforms strong policies that acknowledges the vital role that highly skilled union building trade shops play in creating and maintaining the country’s infrastructure, supporting small business, and strengthening the middle class.
“Both Convention Platform Committees should include policies that will ensure that the country continues to support and nurture a vibrant, high-quality domestic construction industry,” said Jack Jacobson, spokesperson for the Construction Employers of America. “Highly skilled union building trade shops strengthen the middle class and are good for the country. Our member companies are family-owned businesses that follow the rules and provide superior wages and benefits--including health insurance, pensions, and worker safety investments--to their employees.”
