ABC-FEC Leading the Conversation on Construction’s Future

At ABC Florida East Coast, we take pride in being a high-impact, highly influential organization. We are a recognized thought leader, actively shaping how our community understands the vital role of construction and the merit shop philosophy. Our presence in the media reflects our constant effort to elevate industry priorities, ensure our voice is heard, and guide the conversation on issues that matter.

This past month, ABC-FEC President & CEO Peter Dyga was featured in The Real Deal, addressing the impact of immigration enforcement on construction job sites. Dyga emphasized the importance of predictability and “doing everything by the book,” underscoring how merit shop contractors balance compliance with workforce stability. Soon after, the Sun Sentinel published his Labor Day op-ed, highlighting the power of registered apprenticeships and ABC Institute’s nearly 1,000 apprentices statewide as the key to solving America’s skilled workforce shortage.

This media presence underscores ABC-FEC’s influence in public discourse. By staying visible and vocal, we reinforce the value of our membership, making sure the construction industry’s story is told accurately and with authority.
