Welcome

Message from the Director

Welcome to our website. The Northern California Electrical Construction Industry (NCECI), a labor-management cooperative trust, was established in 1998 to assist the state, federal, and local governments with the enforcement of public works, prevailing wage, and Davis-Bacon laws.

In an effort to maintain a “level playing field” for the electrical construction industry NCECI aggressively works to combat the unfair and damaging contracting practices, and we ensure better and more productive standards for wage rates on public construction projects.

NCECI provides valuable assistance to workers, contractors, public agencies, developers, taxpayers, and the general public to promote compliance of public contracts, public works laws, Davis-Bacon and prevailing wage laws. NCECI has established itself as an innovative and progressive leader of compliance enforcement within the electrical construction industry; from bid protest to criminal prosecution, government relations to legislative action and awareness, the NCECI team provides top-quality enforcement for the entire electrical construction industry.

Helix Case

Posted On: Apr 01, 2007 (09:05:04)

A California District Court judge has denied a motion by a nonunion contractor for an injunction against the Public Works Compliance Program of IBEW and the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA).

Helix Electric asked the court to deny compliance program representatives access to the addresses of its unrepresented employees when they investigate prevailing wage issues.

The company argued that addresses would be used for organizing and harassing employees.

The District Court held that the IBEW/NECA monitoring and enforcement efforts serve the public interest because "the purpose of prevailing wage law is to benefit and protect workers on public works projects."
