During the United Association’s Eighth Annual Tripartite Conference in Chicago April 26, MCAA President Tom Stone highlighted the best-value proposition MCAA employers and UA labor present for construction owners nationwide.
President Stone’s remarks also included a video of the MCAA Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to General President Hite at the association’s 2016 convention.
U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez addressed the group and lauded the labor/management collaboration between MCAA and the UA nationally and locally as a model for widespread deployment in other U.S. industries. Secretary Perez commended the UA for its leadership in helping address and remedy the water contamination crisis in Flint, MI. He expressed strong support for prevailing wage law enforcement efforts and the Department of Labor’s efforts to crack down on widespread wage fraud nationally perpetrated by worker misclassification.
North America Building Trades Union (NABTU) President Sean McGarvey also addressed the conference, highlighting a new NABTU initiative to promote the deployment of pension plan investment policies that would yield high returns in projects using union labor.
