| The Ohio Valley
and Southern States Laborers-Employers Cooperation and
Education Trust (OVSS LECET) works within a 9 state region
located in the central and southern United States to bring
the Laborers' International
Union of North America (LIUNA) and its signatory contractors
together to address issues of mutual interest. Both Laborers
and their employers share a lot of common ground. Working
as a team, they secure projects and jobs, increase union-sector
market share, advertise their services, develop a workforce,
and advance shared market-related interests.
OVSS LECET's most important mission is assisting Laborers'
affiliated Local Unions and their partnering contractors
to win projects and jobs. LECET's innovative program,
Cooperation Trust Tracking System (CTTS), monitors thousands
of construction projects from planning to construction.
LECET alerts its Laborers' affiliates of upcoming projects,
giving Laborers and their signatory contractors' time
to prepare a bid, assemble a workforce, and win the
work. While Laborers are working hard on current projects,
LECET is hard at work identifying future project and
job opportunities.
Construction is constantly changing, and LECET helps
Laborers and their signatory contractors stay with today's
market demands. LECET looks down the road to determine
where the industry is headed, and what Laborers and
their contractors will need to do to stay out front.
The Laborers-AGC Education and Training Fund (Laborers-AGC)
uses LECET's market analyses as it develops training
programs that keep Laborers up to date and safe on the
job. The result? Positioning Laborers and their signatory
contractors to make the most of OUR future.
