Don’t Get Locked Out: What ABC Contractors Must Know About PLAs and RCOs

Think a PLA automatically shuts you out of a project? Think again.

Project Labor Agreements and Responsible Contractor Ordinances are reshaping the competitive landscape for contractors across Pennsylvania — and the rules are not what most people think. Misunderstanding them could mean leaving money on the table, or worse, walking away from projects you were fully entitled to bid.

This is the seminar you can’t afford to miss.

Join our ABC Eastern PA Chapter Attorney, Jonathan Landesman, Esquire, for a fast-paced, interactive deep dive into everything ABC contractors need to know about PLAs and RCOs. Jon and his team just scored a major, precedent-setting courtroom victory challenging a PLA right here in Bucks County — and he’s bringing those hard-won insights straight to you.

You’ll walk away knowing:

• What a PLA actually means for your ability to bid — and when it doesn’t mean “union only”
• When a PLA crosses the legal line and can be challenged under Pennsylvania’s public bidding laws
• The real-world impact of RCOs, including apprenticeship program requirements that could affect your workforce

This isn’t theory. This is the freshest, most actionable intelligence available — straight from the attorney who’s fighting these battles in court right now.
