GNY LECET uses state-of-the-art technology to research and track construction projects from design to completion. The information we gather is used to inform signatory contractors of opportunities, investigate and build case files for unscrupulous contractors, and interpret industry trends and market share fluctuations.
We also find it imperative for our affiliated unions and contractors to join together to identify our weaknesses, and improve those issues. This will allow us a means to recover our competitive edge in quickly eroding sectors of the market that, in the not so distant past, were predominantly unionized. Market research and internal analysis tell us that we need to act now for our continued survival in an increasingly competitive field. As the centerpiece of our business development strategy, we’re embarking on a joint labor/management working group, with a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) as our first order of business.

Identifying Threats
It’s well known that price and economic issues are stressing our unions and industries to the brink. In examining these threats, together we can identify viable alternatives for our union workers/contractors.
