As First CURT Tripartite Papers Are Aired, Dissent Plagues AFL-CIO
About one year after reaching consensus on initiatives to increase market share and make union construction more profitable, the Construction Users Roundtable Tripartite Initiative has issued its first position papers on eliminating jurisdictional disputes, stopping absenteeism and ending excessive overtime.
The CURT Tripartite Initiative (CTI) includes dozens of owners, the 15 construction unions of the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Dept. and representatives from six contractor groups. The McGraw-Hill Cos., parent of Engineering News-Record and McGraw-Hill Construction, is a CURT member.
