The Coalition for Fair Employment in Construction is dedicated to guaranteeing genuine accountability and results for taxpayers by ensuring a fair and competitive construction industry. CFEC educates taxpayers and public officials about waste, fraud and abuse associated with lobbyist brokered Project Labor Agreements (PLAs). It's our right and responsibility to hold our elected officials accountable for pushing special interest back room deals that favor special interests over the public interest. That's what we do.
Through education and advocacy, CFEC stands up for taxpayers, construction workers, contractors, and developers so that the public can get the best quality work at the best price.
