Labor: The Future of Construction in Southeastern Wisconsin
On Thursday, May 15, 2008 Building Advantage will be holding a breakfast conference at the Italian Community Center in Milwaukee. The conference is meant to gain support for Building Advantage and union contractors and trades by inviting local architects, developers, building owners, contractors and subcontractors to show how union construction has helped shape the future and face of Milwaukee.
Fred Kinateder, CEO, Fred Kinateder Masonry, Inc., will be speaking on behalf of the union trades to emphasize the impact the union trades have had – and will continue to have – on the growth and success of the construction industry in Milwaukee.
Additionally, attendees of the conference will hear from Greg Sizemore, executive vice-president of the Construction Users Roundtable (CURT). CURT is an initiative to improve relationships between labor, management and building owners for a successful and profitable construction industry. Sizemore – who has more than twenty years of construction industry and association management experience – will be speaking about the benefits of CURT and how they can work with Building Advantage to create a similar program.
Building Advantage is also looking to secure two additional speakers from local Fortune 500 companies who have committed to staying in Milwaukee, and to learn how and why union construction helped make this commitment possible.
Union construction has contributed to numerous large projects in Milwaukee, including the Marquette Interchange, the Milwaukee City Hall Restoration, University Club Tower, Park Lafayette and many more. As the construction industry continues to grow rapidly in Southeastern Wisconsin, union construction needs to continue to show the quality of their work to continue growing.
This conference is intended to show the companies of Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin how committed the union construction trades are to quality workmanship, the future of Southeastern Wisconsin and the benefits union contractors and trades bring to job sites.
