IntroductionIn the fall of 2009, a group of

Owners, General Contractors and Specialty Contractors gathered to discuss the current state of the commercial construction workforce in the

Greater Houston Area.

The conclusion was that future demand for the commercial construction industry will far outpace the availability of qualified craft

workers. In a nutshell, today’s craft workforce is not sustainable.

The ProblemWhile the construction workforce is aging and less productive due to lack of training, the demand

on our industry increases and becomes more technical every year.

We must do more to recruit, train and retain craft workers to meet the demands

of our industry.

In a nutshell, we must make a career in the commercial construction industry attractive

once again!

What C3 Isn’t: We are an industry taking control of our issues…• we are not advocating for a legislative solution.

We promote craft training for all craft workers…• we are not advocating for union shops or merit

shops.• we are not taking a position on immigration.

What caused this problem?

Craft & Safety Training

reduced or eliminated

Elimination of overtime pay, social security,

federal & state unemployment taxes

Poor employment practices;

depressing wagesMisclassification

of craft workers as subcontractors

Owners that look the

other way

Elimination of vocational

education in K-12

Perception construction

industry as dirty, unsafe and no

career path

Perception of endless supply

of craft workers

The ResultIf we cannot solve this problem, we will not be able to sustain the craft workforce - the

foundation of the building industry.

Principles1. Financial Security, Health,

and Well Being of Craft Workers

▪ Paying a fair wage by the hour with applicable overtime and not misclassifying the worker as a subcontractor

▪ Provide worker security by paying unemployment taxes, providing workers’ compensation insurance and contributing to social security for the workforce

2. Safety Training▪ Construction industry safety training

standards for the workforce as follows:All craft workers have OSHA 10-hour

cardAll on-site supervisors have OSHA 30-

hour card(We are developing a safety refresher

for OSHA 10 & 30 since it is required only once in a career.)

3. Craft Training▪ Participate in and support the development of

industry craft training leading to portable training credentials for the craft worker
