During ABC’s 2009 Legislative Conference, June 23-25 in Washington D.C., ABC members will have the chance to connect with hundreds of colleagues and get updates on a range of issues including the Employee Free Choice Act, or “card check;” business tax increases; energy policy; green jobs; health care costs; and union-only project labor agreements.
Participants will hear from special guest speaker Brit Hume, senior political analyst for FOX News Channel, who will discuss the current political landscape and how the changes with the new administration may affect the outcome of critical issues for the construction industry.
After learning about the most recent legislative developments from Hume, attendees will have the opportunity to make their voices heard during visits to Capitol Hill and federal agencies.
