Politics & Policy
ABC is the voice of the merit shop and we accept the responsibility for ensuring that voice is heard. We believe the merit shop movement is a movement for the betterment of the individual, the construction industry and the nation.
Our Core Beliefs
We believe
in the system of free enterprise and open competition.
We believe
in Florida's Right-to-Work statute.
We believe
that employees and employers should have the right to determine wages and working conditions, through either individual or collective bargaining, as they choose, within the boundaries of the law.
We believe
that the employer must have concern for the general welfare of the employee and that there must be a fair compensation for work performed. At the same time, we believe that the employee has an obligation for satisfactory performance of assigned work.
We support
sound legislation in the areas of workers' compensation, safety and unemployment compensation. We believe legislation that embraces fair play for both employer and employee is essential to the preservation of our Free Enterprise system. The law should protect the right of employees to work regardless or race, color, creed, age, sex or membership or non-membership in a labor organization.
We oppose
violence, coercion, intimidation, and the denial of the rights of the free working person and free management.
We believe
that economy is incumbent upon all branches of government and that government should award contracts to the lowest responsible bidder only. We oppose any unjust pressure to violate these principles.
We believe
that work opportunities in this nation should be made available to all of our people, regardless of race, color, creed, age, sex or national origin, and we support programs towards this end.
We believe
that monopolies or any kind of price or wage fixing in either the public or private sector are detrimental to our system of free enterprise.
We believe
that the destiny of all Americans can best be served by cooperation, reconciliation and following the tenets of free enterprise and democratic government. We believe business leaders can best preserve these tenets by becoming active in politics and civic affairs.
