Preservation of Free Enterprise in the Construction Industry  

• We believe that every business firm should have the right to deal with any other business firms as it sees fit.
• We believe that every worker should have the right to belong or not belong to a labor organization.
• We believe that no person's right to work should be affected by membership or non-membership in a labor organization
• We believe that every firm, as provided in federal and state law, should have the right to operate union or open shop as it deems fit.
• We favor stability of contracting and allied industries.

• We believe in the principle of awarding public contracts to the lowest responsible bidder.

Sound Legislation on Workers' Compensation, Unemployment Compensation and Safety  

• We believe that the working population should be protected against the hazards of industrial employment in our complex economy.
• We believe that welfare legislation should be designed to preserve the initiative characteristic of our free enterprise system.
• Legislation encouraging coddling of workers, payment for work not done, secondary boycotts, and other expressions of private power should be strenuously opposed.

Labor Legislation

• We favor labor legislation that provides for fair and just relations between business management and labor.
• We oppose such activities as violence, coercion, intimidation, and the denial of the rights of free working people and free management.

Monopolies

• We oppose monopolies in any form, particularly the closure of opportunities for bidding in the construction industry.
• We believe the practice of closing lists of bidders is harmful to owners and to the construction industry. This practice opens the way for favoritism that can only result in stifling free competition. Our position on this point does not mean that we are opposed to individual firms working out, with individual contractors, their particular problems as is deemed necessary.

Wages and Prices

• We favor elimination of government fixing of wages and prices as practices destructive of free enterprise.
• We believe American workers and employers should have the right to determine wages, hours, and working conditions through either individual or collective bargaining as they choose without interference from any government source.
• We believe in fair compensation for work performed.

Government Economy

• Government on all levels owes to our citizens the duty of operating efficiently and economically for the general welfare
• Government waste, careless administration and corruption should be fought by alert citizens whenever and wherever they appear.

Non-discrimination

• Discrimination based on race, color, creed or sex is contrary to the spirit of American Democracy.
• We believe, in particular, that precluding minorities from the opportunity of learning the skills in the construction industry and keeping them out of jobs is harmful to our nation, economically and morally.

Businessperson's Responsibility to the Community

• We believe that every businessperson should take cognizance of their duties as a citizen and take an active part in civic affairs.
• We believe that it is the duty of every businessperson to deal fairly with other firms and individuals.
