(UPDATE – April 30, 2014) Regional Collective Bargaining Agreements for Philadelphia Commercial Construction and Heavy & Highway Contractors that Expire at Midnight on April 30, 2014:

Early industry settlements point to strong signs of positive labor / management relationships between trades and contractors.  

At this time, we still have several groups actively negotiating their collective bargaining agreements and anticipate that most, if not all, will be settled quickly.  

In the event of a works stoppage, GMCS provides contractor support in the form of dual Gate Language and administration as well as site guidance, support, strategy and your obligations as a member of an employer association or as an independent in the industry.
