The Michigan LECET partners with its signatory contractors on issues that impact Michigan's construction industry, particularly those affecting labor and managements delivery of high quality, on time, on budget projects. The LECET also works with other Construction Laborer groups, such as the Michigan Laborers Training & Apprenticeship Institute.
The Michigan LECET offers a prevailing wage compliance program to assure a level and fair playing field for our signatory contractors as well as Market and Business Development services. Michigan LECET continues to work with school districts to assist them to establish and implement a Responsible Contractor Policy.
Michigan LECET is backed by the Laborers' Tri-Fund, consisting of the National LECET, the Laborers' Health and Safety Fund
and the Laborers' / AGC Training Fund. Tri-Fund resources, including the Cooperation Trust Tracking System (CTTS), which
tracks tens of thousands of construction projects, are available to all of Michigan's signatory contractors. You will also
find Michigan LECET exhibits at many trade shows promoting union construction to a wide range of project owners.
