Core Values
Join ABC OF UTAH
ABC Utah Chapter's Core Values
ABC is the voice of the merit shop and we accept the responsibility for ensuring that voice is heard. We believe the merit shop movement is a movement for the betterment of the individual, the construction industry and the nation.
We believe in the system of free enterprise and open competition.
We believe employees and employers should have the right to determine wages and working conditions through either individual or collective bargaining, as they choose, within the boundaries of the law.
We believe the law should protect the right of employees to work regardless of race, color, creed, age, sex, national origin or membership or non-membership in a labor organization. We believe work opportunities should be made available to all legal residents and we support programs toward this end.
We believe the employer must have concern for the general welfare of the employee and that there must be a fair compensation for work performed. At the same time, we believe that the employee has an obligation for satisfactory performance of assigned work.
We believe in Utah’s Right-to-Work statute.
We believe legislation that embraces fair play for employer and employee is essential for the preservation of our free enterprise system.
We oppose violence, coercion, intimidation and the denial of the rights of employees and employers.
We support sound legislation in the areas of workers compensation, safety and unemployment compensation.
We believe monopolies or any kind of price or wage fixing, in either the public or private sector, are detrimental to our system of free enterprise.
We believe Americans can be best be served by cooperation, reconciliation, and following the tenets of free enterprise and a democratic government. We believe business leaders can best preserve these tenets by becoming active in politics and civic affairs.
