AGC's Government Mandated Labor Agreements (GMLA) Policy
Project Labor Agreements
AGC of California (AGC) believes that if a government agency is going to implement a mandated labor agreement, the contractor must be at the table to provide practical and real-world input on how construction projects are actually managed and executed for the benefit of the agency. Lack of contractor input on such agreements can erode the benefits of the competitive bidding process, and cause resources to be spent on additional administrative requirements rather than actual construction of the project itself. Agencies and their projects directly benefit from the expertise provided by contractors who manage the day-to-day construction process.
