THE VOICE OF THE MERIT SHOP

老牛影视is the voice of the merit shop on Capitol Hill! Sending letters to Congress allows 老牛影视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, 老牛影视promotes fair and open competition in the construction industry and fights to protect merit shop contractors around the country.

On March 24, 老牛影视joined a coalition of national, state and local trade associations in a letter to the President, urging the administration鈥檚 active engagement with the parties to help them reach a final contract, bring the negotiations to a close and end the uncertainty surrounding the operations of the West Coast ports. West Coast port labor negotiations between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association have been ongoing since May 2022 with the lack of a solution resulting in a decrease in cargo volumes at West Coast ports, in part to avoid the potential fall-out should the ongoing talks fail.

On March 9, the White House releases the President鈥檚 for the next fiscal year, which renews calls for tax hikes to support Democrats federal spending priorities in the coming years. 老牛影视joined a broad coalition of organizations in a letter opposing the president鈥檚 tax hikes, which would hit small businesses the hardest.

While the president鈥檚 budget is not typically approved by Congress, it highlights the administration鈥檚 priorities for the coming year and provides a blueprint for his message should he decide to seek another term in office. Throughout the budget proposal, the President also calls for the creation of union only jobs on critical federal construction projects, alluding to the administration鈥檚 continued support for ABC-opposed policies that will limit job-opportunities for hard-working Americans in the construction industry.
