The Michigan LECET partners with its signatory contractors on issues that impact Michigan's construction industry, particularly those affecting labor and management's delivery of high quality, on time, on-budget projects. The LECET also works with other Construction Laborer groups, such as the Michigan Laborers' Training & Apprenticeship Institute.

The Training Institute provides three, state-of-the-art training centers centrally located in the State. Its mission, supported by the LECET, is the development for our signatory contractors of experienced journeymen and apprentices who are skilled, safety-focused, and productive.

The Michigan LECET offers a prevailing wage compliance program to assure a level and fair playing field for our signatory contractors. It's also a sponsor of the Michigan Association for Responsible Contracting (MARC) which assists school districts in adopting a responsible contracting policy.

Michigan LECET is backed by the Laborers' Tri-Fund, consisting of the National LECET, the Laborers' Health & Safety Fund, and the Laborers' Health & Safety Fund, and the Laborers' / AGC Training Fund. Tri-Fund resources are available to all Michigan's signatory contractors, including the Cooperation Trust Tracking System (CTTS), which tracks tens of thousands of construction projects. You'll also find Michigan LECET exhibits at many trade shows promoting union construction to a wide range of project owners.

We're not here to give you a hard time. Whether you work union only in some areas, operate double-breasted, or are exclusively open shop, we see you as a prospective client. Why? We believe our business model will enable you to achieve greater profitability.
