Construction job sites can seem chaotic upon first glance. However, the decision-making and coordination that goes into any construction job site actually makes them extremely organized and even choreographed, despite what they might look like to the outside world. 

On any construction site, the teamwork between labor and management is critical to keep things running smoothly. The NECA/IBEW Powering America team has a refined system in place to ensure that relationships between workers and management are always dealt with internally. This system is spearheaded by The Council on Industrial Relations (CIR), which serves to keep jobs on track and keep customers happy. 

The CIR, located in Washington D.C., is the final stop for contractors and laborers to be heard, settle differences, and move forward. While the Powering America team is a well-oiled machine, it’s important to understand that, at times, issues can arise, and that’s where the CIR comes in. 

Thanks to the CIR, construction jobs all over America can continue uninterrupted. The CIR can solve disagreements without involving the owner and disrupting the project. This tradition of stability has saved billions of dollars in man-hours and construction disruption.
