Legal & Labor Services
No business can expect to survive in modern America without access to legal services to help it navigate the complex web of business laws that permeate our society. AGC provides a comprehensive list of legal and labor services to its members including: consultation and information on ERISA, employer withdrawal liability, construction liens and contractor liability, workers' compensation, taxes, bonds, arbitration, bidding and contract award disputes and mistakes, and minority business enterprises.
AGC employs two labor relations specialists, including a labor attorney, who provide members with a full range of services to assist them in dealing with their workforce. These services include:
- Collective Bargaining
- Union Relations - As well as negotiating contracts, AGC's staff interprets labor agreements, monitors Taft-Hartley fringe benefits funds, provides arbitration services, and assists member companies in dealing with grievances and jurisdictional and other disputes with the unions. AGC can also offer assistance with picketing and other organized labor activities.
- Open Shop - AGC's staff provides a full range of services for members employing open shop labor, including providing advice and counsel on prevailing wage laws and the Davis-Bacon Act, negotiations, affirmative action, equal employment opportunity and discrimination matters, grievances and disputes, employment policies, and union activity.
