THE VOICE OF THE MERIT SHOP

ABC is the voice of the merit shop on Capitol Hill! Sending letters to Congress allows ABC to publicly advocate for the views and interests of our more than 23,000 members. By corresponding with U.S. House of Representatives and Senate members, ABC promotes fair and open competition in the construction industry and fights to protect merit shop contractors around the country.

On Dec. 18, the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's Subcommittee on Waters Resources and Environment held the hearing, "Water Resources Development Act of 2026: Stakeholder Priorities." Ahead of the hearing, ABC sent a letter to the committee, urging it to advance a neutral WRDA bill that allows all contractors to compete, regardless of labor affiliation.
