Associated General Contractors has joined 10 other national business associations in a letter to the U.S. Secretary of Labor urging her to reconsider a series of new affirmative-action mandates her agency plans to impose on contractors working on federal projects.
AGC called the step "very costly and incredibly prescriptive."
"The administration is getting ready to impose a tremendous new regulatory burden on thousands of employers to fix a problem that doesn't appear to exist," said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association's chief executive officer.
