Elected Officials Back ABC-FEC’s Launch of VR Training
October 21, 2025Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) continues to champion fair labor practices and defends the principles of the Merit Shop philosophy as two major federal issues take center stage in Washington. Our advocacy remains focused on protecting worker freedom, free enterprise, and the rights of employers to negotiate without government interference.
ABC strongly opposes the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), which would impose government-mandated deadlines and binding arbitration on private labor negotiations. This bill strips both workers and employers of their right to freely negotiate workplace conditions, handing unprecedented authority to federal bureaucrats instead of those directly involved in the workplace.
We also oppose the ongoing government shutdown, which continues to disrupt federal contracting and jeopardize essential projects. ABC urges Congress to pass a clean continuing resolution and restore stability to the business environment that keeps America building.
Through active engagement, ABC’s voice continues to resonate at the highest levels of government as a trusted and respected advocate for freedom in the workplace.
