Labor Relations
Member firms may, if they choose, authorize us to represent them in collective bargaining negotiations. Our union partners and AGC of New Jersey work hand in hand to promote an ideal union contractor working environment. Working through such programs as Project BUILD, a unique coalition of union contractors and tradesmen, AGC of New Jersey has gained favorable economic and working conditions. These include reasonable settlements, common holidays and uniform overtime rates at time and one half.
Member Information
We provide a constant communication pipeline to members through weekly newsletters, labor bulletins and our magazine, the New Jersey Constructor. (All of which are available in our exclusive Members Only Section.) Our newsletters contain timely construction news and the most complete bid and unit price information anywhere. The Membership Directory is published annually and the Associate Membership Directory is published bi-annually as an up-to-date reference.
Committees
When it comes to association membership, there is no truer statement than, "The more you put into it the more you get out of it." AGC of New Jersey provides that opportunity through its committee structure. Important committees include the Labor, Public Agencies, and Safety Committees.
Social Activities
AGC of New Jersey offers many social activities and dinner meetings which provide a pleasant atmosphere where members may discuss common interests and hear about industry issues.
Legislative Representation
Through its staff and professional consultants, AGC of New Jersey provides the information and action needed to introduce favorable legislation and to oppose detrimental bills. The Transportation Trust Fund and Environmental Trust Fund are two examples of progressive legislation that AGC of New Jersey helped enact.
Regulatory Reform
Regulations affecting the construction industry have tripled in the past 10 years! AGC of New Jersey constantly works to reform or to eliminate unnecessary, burdensome regulations which cost the industry millions of dollars to comply with every year.
