FALL REGIONAL CONSTRUCTION WAKE-UP CALLS
Topic: Labor Law Update: Back to the Future (Again?)

Presenter:  Tom Davies, of Counsel, McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC

Labor shortages and pressures. Regulatory Compliance challenges. RCOs and PLAs. While these issues aren’t new, the ever-changing construction environment in 2026 is, and ABC Keystone’s Fall Wake-up Calls will review and address the following critical elements:

  • What is the current union organizing climate?
  • How might this be impacted by large projects like data centers?
  • Will the new Trump NLRB reverse the pro-union decisions of the Biden Board?
  • What are the potential labor law impacts of the November election?
  • How can merit shop employers address potential organizing activity?
  • What steps should we take NOW to prepare?

Wake-up Calls

“I have found the topics discussed at the ABC’s Regional meetings relevant to issues facing today’s contractors. The meetings are located in areas where I can schedule to attend. For example, I have used the knowledge gained from the ABC meetings in our management team meetings to manage better and retain our co-workers.” Thomas W. Bertolet Bertolet Construction Corporation

Wake-up Calls

“I have attended many of the regional meetings in Harrisburg, Wyomissing, and Lancaster and have found them as a means and opportunity to network with new and current members, be educated on relevant topics that affect businesses today, all in a concise and timely manner – and the 7:30 a.m. doesn’t have us missing valuable time during the business day. I recommend this forum to all current and prospective members in the region as it allows you to create new business relationships and learn valuable information that affects your businesses.” David H. Oblender CRIS, Engle-Hambright & Davies, Inc.

Wake-up Calls

“I thoroughly enjoy the premise of the “Wake-up Call” meetings. They are early in the morning so as not to break up or interrupt the day. The topics I have seen have all been relevant and worthwhile, the venues have been convenient to my location, and the times have been condensed to where I obtain great information but can still make it into my office by 9 am.” Tony Forlizzi Sheet Metal Specialists, LLC
