Advantages"

Construction and General Laborers Local 185 recognizes, "Our members' success
goes hand in hand with our employers' success."

Therefore, we aim to achieve a mutually rewarding relationship.

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.
