Open-Shop Resources

AGC of Washington's Open-Shop Committee develops and maintains comprehensive programs that are tailored to the needs of open-shop contractors.

 

AGC of Washington membership consists of both Union and open-shop contractors. We strongly support fair and open competition for all public projects. Accordingly, AGCW opposes government-mandated and government-negotiated project labor agreements (PLAs) and community workforce agreements (CWAs).
