ABC Delaware Chapter ABC Delaware members meet with Congressman Carney in Wilmington ABC members met this week with Congressman John Carney to discuss construction issues of concern to our members. Discussion topics centered the Affordable Care Act—upcoming deadlines and mandates; the proposed increase in workers’ compensation rates; and OSHA enforce- ment. Members were able to discuss the harmful effects these issues have on creating jobs in our industry and economic development in our state. “We appreciate the opportunity to meet again with Congressman Carney,” said ABC Delaware Chairman John Gooden. “We began this dialogue back in July during our trip to Capitol Hill when Congressman Carney said he would be willing to meet with us in the fall as a follow-up. It was a good meeting and we will keep in touch with him on these issues.”

They’re standing on a concept called merit construction. This means both merit and union craftspeople work side-by-side.
Contractors are chosen on merit, those who offer the best skills get the jobs. Being open to new ideas like multi-skills work teams, new technology and advanced construction techniques, merit contractors are able to
construct high-quality buildings that are highly cost-efficient. Merit contractors bring highly skilled jobs with competitive wages to our community. Today, 4 out of 5 people in construction are employed by merit contractors . If you are planning a construction project, find out more about merit contractors . We don’t just construct better buildings. We build a stronger economy and a better quality of life for this community. MERIT CONTRACTORS. BUILDING A BETTER LIFE.
