History of The CFEC

Formed in 1998 and representing over 300 companies who in turn employ over 20,000 workers throughout California, CFEC is a coalition of concerned contractors (union and merit shop), associations, and businesses dedicated to educating owners, elected officials, the construction industry, and taxpayers about the regressive threat of union-only Project Labor Agreements; along with abusive, discriminatory tactics such as “greenmail."

CFEC is a frontline regional promoter for policies that promote open competition and fairness in the construction industry and works to counter any threat that undermines those principles.  CFEC advocates equal opportunity for all construction workers – whether union or non-union.

Spearheading open competition campaigns and promoting fair employment legislation and directives throughout the state, CFEC maintains a presence throughout California, with offices in San Diego and Sacramento.

CFEC’s activities to date have kept over $4 billion in construction projects across California open for all to work on.
