We help Improve Labor Relations
One major benefit to our members is our well-recognized
comprehensive experience in all phases of labor
relations.
CAEP represents its members in collective bargaining
negotiations and provides significant assistance in
interpretations of agreements. Assistance in resolving
disputes and arbitrations is also available, as are job
recovery programs to help the union contractors become more
competitive in today's marketplace.
We Provide Liaison with Owners and Government
Whether our members firms deal with PENNDOT, the City of
Philadelphia, SEPTA, or commissions and
authorities, such as the PA Turnpike Commission or the
Delaware River Port Authority, CAEP can provide beneficial
liaison services.
CAEP is also prepared to offer assistance with city, state
and federal regulations involving minority business
participation.
In its role as advocate for the construction industry, CAEP
actively supports beneficial legislation and keeps
members informed about pending legislative issues at all
levels of government.
We Help Improve Working Conditions
Mindful of the importance of workplace safety, CAEP
maintains liaison with OSHA and sponsors certified
seminars in a variety of safety concerns ranging from Work
Zone Safety and OSHA 10 Hour Outreach for Highway and Road
Builders to OSHA Standards and OSHA Recordkeeping
requirements. Also, CAEP strives to keep its members updated
on all new safety regulations promulgated by OSHA.
CAEP also offers educational courses and supervisory
training programs with tuition reimbursement for
superintendents, foremen, and junior management for active
members through local colleges and universities.
Our Young Executives Council
similarly encourages career advancement for young
executives of Active Member firms by providing a forum of
dialog, networking and education.
We Foster Strong Industry Relations
Membership in CAEP automatically carries with it enrollment
in the Associated General Contractors of America
(AGC), the largest organization of general contractors in
the nation. Highway contractors are also offered
enrollment in Associated Pennsylvania Constructors (APC).
Automatic enrollment in AGC offers a number of
benefits to members of CAEP, among which are access to
special videos and publications at discount costs,
access to pertinent federal, legislative, and industry
bulletins, access to federal legislators and information on
industry trends. Of special value to AGC members is the
Constructors Information Network, which permits members
to receive on-line all AGC and CAEP bulletins. Also
available through the Constructors Information Network are:
up-to-date Davis-Bacon wage rates for all regions of the
country, chapter and contractor profiles, and a substantial
discount on Commerce Business Daily.
We Make a Difference in Eastern Pennsylvania
The CAEP is good for its members, good for the industry, and
good for the region. Our members are regarded as
efficient, responsible contractors by business leaders, by
labor, by management, and by government and its
agencies. As a result, the eastern Pennsylvania area has
earned an outstanding reputation which helps attracts
new construction opportunities.
