   Construction Industry Service Corporation

   Sep 2013 — Present · Burr Ridge, IL, US

   The Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) is a non-profit labor management association founded in 1988 in an effort to promote cooperative, non-adversarial relationships between members of Labor and management. Our membership consists of Labor Unions and signatory contractor associations from the Unionized construction trades in Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Kane and Kendall Counties. Collectively, we represent more than Union contractors and Union construction workers.CISCO’s mission is to strengthen the Unionized construction market in the greater Chicagoland area. In Union construction, Labor-management cooperation is directly related to market share, and to build market share, it takes the cooperation of the entire industry. Here’s why it\'s working:• In Northeastern Illinois, Labor and management have maintained non-adversarial relationships for decades, which have allowed the industry to progress more quickly. By working together, Labor and management can enhance the overall quality of the industry, which benefits everyone.• Unions building trades and contractors hold a dominant market share in construction in the Chicago Metropolitan area. One of the main contributors to this success is the cooperative relationship that exists between Labor and management.At CISCO, we look for new ways to promote Union construction and provide valuable services to all our member organizations.
