About
Greater New York LECET (Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust) is a labor-management partnership between our affiliated LiUNA Laborers’ locals and their signatory contractors. We work together to address issues of mutual interest, so we can continue to secure and grow our market share.
GNY LECET is a one-stop shop for innovative marketing and advertising strategies, government agency relationships, market-related legislation and regulatory initiatives, community and business alliances, and a variety of project and job tracking strategies.
We know our contractors are the most competitive in the industry, completing projects ahead of schedule, under budget, and of the highest quality possible. Our workforce is also highly trained, ensuring safety and efficiency. Our mission is to make sure everyone else knows, too. Our goals are always set toward how best to increase union-sector market share. When labor and management work together, we all win.
