CLRC Reports Increase in First Year Settlements for Union Craft Workers in Construction

January 25, 2024

The Construction Labor Research Council (CLRC), a longstanding MCAA partner, reports an average increase of 4.7 percent in the first year of new settlements reached in 2023 for union craft workers in the construction industry. The findings appear in the CLRC 2023 Year End Settlements Report. The report covers the first year of newly bargained settlements to assist readers in understanding current trends. It also covers all years of negotiated settlements to assist in projecting future labor costs.

In addition to a general overview, the report provides various detailed data cuts, including by geographic region and specific craft. New this year, an addendum offers an alternate look at regional settlement increase averages for the first year in the form of maps that break things down by region.

For additional information, contact Carey Peters, Executive Director, at 202-347-8440 or clpeters@clrcconsulting.org.
