Workforce Concerns? Construction Career Collaborative (C3)
A Craft Workforce Solution
Presented byChuck GremillionExecutive DirectorSeptember 1, 2015
Financial Security, Health, and Well Being + Safety Training + Craft Training
IntroductionIn the fall of 2009, a group of
Owners, General Contractors and Specialty Contractors gathered to discuss the current state of the commercial construction workforce in the
Greater Houston Area.
The conclusion was that future demand for the commercial construction industry will far outpace the availability of qualified craft
workers. In a nutshell, today’s craft workforce is not sustainable.

The ProblemWhile the construction workforce is aging and less productive due to lack of training, the demand
on our industry increases and becomes more technical every year.
We must do more to recruit, train and retain craft workers to meet the demands
of our industry.
In a nutshell, we must make a career in the commercial construction industry attractive
once again!

C3 MissionAs an alliance of socially-responsible
Owners, Contractors and Specialty Contractors, we will positively affect
the growth of a sustainable workforce for the commercial construction industry.

What is C3?Constructive Career Collaborative is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization, which seeks to reestablish a career in the craft trades of the commercial construction industry as an excellent way to a middle class lifestyle, thereby recreating a sustainable craft workforce.

What C3 Isn’t: We are an industry taking control of our issues…• we are not advocating for a legislative solution.
We promote craft training for all craft workers…• we are not advocating for union shops or merit
shops.• we are not taking a position on immigration.

What caused this problem?
Craft & Safety Training
reduced or eliminated
Elimination of overtime pay, social security,
federal & state unemployment taxes
Poor employment practices;
depressing wagesMisclassification
of craft workers as subcontractors
Owners that look the
other way
Elimination of vocational
education in K-12
Perception construction
industry as dirty, unsafe and no
career path
Perception of endless supply
of craft workers

The ResultIf we cannot solve this problem, we will not be able to sustain the craft workforce - the
foundation of the building industry.

Principles1. Financial Security, Health,
and Well Being of Craft Workers
▪ Paying a fair wage by the hour with applicable overtime and not misclassifying the worker as a subcontractor
▪ Provide worker security by paying unemployment taxes, providing workers’ compensation insurance and contributing to social security for the workforce
2. Safety Training▪ Construction industry safety training
standards for the workforce as follows:All craft workers have OSHA 10-hour
cardAll on-site supervisors have OSHA 30-
hour card(We are developing a safety refresher
for OSHA 10 & 30 since it is required only once in a career.)
3. Craft Training▪ Participate in and support the development of
industry craft training leading to portable training credentials for the craft worker
