A quick lesson on the ABC’s of the construction industry. |
---|
Associated Builders and Contractors, also known as ABC, is a corporate front group seeking to increase its own members’ wealth at the expense of taxpayers, communities, honest businesses and hard working men and women. A fringe organization, ABC falsely claims to be the voice of the construction industry even though in most states, less than LIUNA joined the Building and Construction Trades Department (BCTD) and the AFL-CIO in releasing the findings of a first-ever state-by-state comparative analysis of the Associated Builders and Contractors. The findings expose ABC’s data manipulation and an aggressive disinformation campaign designed to confuse elected officials, the public and the press into supporting policies that produce fewer jobs, lower wages, and minimal workforce training, which have had a detrimental effect on workers, their communities and the US construction industry as a whole. |
