AGC is offering an educational webinar on July 27 to help contractors prepare for what to expect from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs in upcoming audits and if they become involved in your Mega Projects.

The AGC-backed Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act is a bipartisan attempt to provide a legal immigration option to meet projected future workforce needs and help secure the U.S. border.

AGC recently urged the Department of Labor to abandon or postpone an anticipated rulemaking altering the overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act, citing several potential threats to an already vulnerable economy.

Sign up for AGC’s complimentary webinar to learn how your company can access workers through employment authorization and immigration work visas.

AGC joined over 400 business organizations calling on Congress to address America’s broken immigration system and prioritize market-based reforms that allow a path for immigrants to aid in workforce issues.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), after giving federal contractors and subcontractors several opportunities to submit objections, recently published EEO-1 data for contractors that “either affirmatively agreed to, or did not object to, the release of their EEO-1 data.” 

U.S. DOL’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs announced a renewed Mega Construction Project Initiative reaffirming contractors’ Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action requirements under covered federal contracts.

AGC challenges Commerce Secretary to work with the association to help actually address construction workforce shortages by significantly increasing federal investments in career and technical education, not more mandates for project labor agreements on CHIPS Act-funded semiconductor facility projects.

On February 23, members of Congress reintroduced the PRO Act, an ambitious attempt to overturn decades of federal labor policy that threatens both union and open-shop contractors.

In response to President Biden’s government-mandated Project Labor Agreements (PLA) Executive Order, Congress introduced the AGC-supported Fair and Open Competition Act, which would preserve open competition and federal government neutrality towards the labor relations of contractors on federal and federally funded construction projects.
