New England Laborers’ Labor-Management Cooperation Trust

In a fiercely competitive economy, the success of both labor and management increasingly depends on their ability to define shared interests and pursue common goals. The New England Laborers’ Labor-Management Cooperation Trust (NELLMCT) was the first organization of its kind in the United States. Together with our signatory contractors and employers, NELLMCT works to maintain positive relationships with industry specialists in order to address the complex issues that arise in securing increased market share.

This includes working with government officials to make sure that procurement laws that insure a level playing field for our signatory contractors are maintained and enforced. We work closely with our sister funds to lobby legislators in the New England Region to pass laws that assist our signatory contractors to control spending and improve their bottom line. For example, our organization was instrumental in working with lawmakers to facilitate the passing of OSHA 10 laws across New England, which not only protect workers but also help our contractors by avoiding accidents and safety incidents that can lead to skyrocketing insurance costs.

Our Trust is committed to the principle that union contractors deliver the highest quality craftsmanship for every dollar spent and set the industry standard for reliability.
