ASA’s Ethics Task Force Recommends the Golden Rule
At the first meeting of its ethics task force, members of the American Subcontractors Association did some soul searching. They recognize that improving ethics in the construction industry means not only improving how they are treated by general contractors, but also improving how subcontractors deal with suppliers.
“We want to raise the consciousness of the industry,” said ASA President Vincent Terraferma, of KSW Mechanical Services Inc., Long Island City, N.Y. Terraferma and the ASA board of directors charged the task force with developing and implementing programs to improve industry ethics. The task force meeting was part of ASA’s annual convention in Newport Beach, Calif., March 9-11.
