History:
Since our founding in 2000, PCA has worked to ensure fair access to work opportunities for our members by promoting a legislative framework and industry practices that establish a level playing field for all construction industry participants.
The innovative partnership that exists between our member companies and their CLAC-organized employees is founded on a mutual respect dedicated to achieving a fair outcome for all parties, maximizing productivity in the relationship between labour and management, and a commitment to safety that is second to none.
As such, our member companies tend to enjoy a highly-cooperative and productive relationship with their CLAC employees. The uniqueness of our labour model - both worker to worker, and worker to employer - means that there are no jurisdictional disputes, and we are united in our focus on building a high-productivity, high-performance business and a culture around construction.

Overview:
The Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCA) is the voice of over 100 progressive unionized employers in Canada's construction industry. Our member companies employ more than 25,000 skilled construction worker across Canada, represented primarily by the CLAC union.
PCA provides political and industry advocacy, labour-management advice, networking opportunities, and organizational services to its member community.

Mission:
Canada's construction industry should allow for fair and open competition of companies reflecting various labour models; in which no sector is given artificial and unfair advantage over another on the basis of union affiliation or lack thereof.
