success goes hand in hand with our employers' success."

By increasing production, working safely and constructing it right the first
time, employers save money on labor, materials and insurance. By being more
efficient contractors can get to the next project sooner, reducing their
overhead. When contractors complete quality projects on time, the demand
for their services increases. When the demand for these services increase,
the Laborers' Union will supply their workforce needs.

Additionally, employers may realize reduced payroll taxes by contributing to
the Laborers Trust Funds for Northern California and employers may also
reduce workers compensation costs through Laborers Health and Safety
Training.
