The NCDCL provides valuable services to their signatory employers by providing work opportunities through political action, job tracking, advanced training and re-training, competitive wage rates, prevailing wage cost savings benefit, workers’ compensation alternative dispute resolution, marketing, health and safety, and legislative advocacy.
