LEGISLATIVE 
The Voice Of Merit Shop Contractors


Pictured above: ABC Members at the FL Legislative Conference.

Below are some of ABC National's priority issues:


Employee Free Choice Act/Card Check
Allows unions to unionize a company with the majority of authorization cards from employees. No secret ballot election would take place after cards to unionize were submitted. This subverts the fair and open process that is already in place and the efforts of the national labor relations board.  

Health Care Reform
ABC opposes any efforts to mandate compulsory health care coverage to employers.

Project Labor Agreements
ABC strongly opposes union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects. These agreements not only exclude open shop contractors from bidding on projects paid for by their own tax dollars, but also drive up the cost of construction by reducing competition for the work. 

Small Business Health Plans/AHPs
ABC strongly supports extending ERISA preemption currently available for larger, self-insured corporate plans and Taft-Hartley union plans, to bona fide associations and professional societies for small businesses in the fully insured market through Small Business Health Plans.
