Minnesota LECET Mission Statement

The Minnesota Laborers Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (LECET) is a non-profit joint Labor/Management organization created to facilitate and promote the positive relationships between Construction Craft Laborers and their Construction Contractor Employers.

Recognizing that there are areas of mutual concern that can best be addressed with cooperative efforts by labor and management, LECET's goals are:  to increase market share for union construction firms by tracking employment and business opportunities; to create positive relationships between labor and management; to stimulate productivity and safety; to engage more workers in the Construction Craft Laborer training program; to market and promote union construction; and to conduct and sponsor educational programs for and about issues of mutual concern to both Construction Craft Laborers and Contractors.

LECET recognizes that the future of union construction depends upon the ability of Labor and Management to address their problems and take advantage of their opportunities TOGETHER.
