Challenging OSHA's Vaccine Mandate
On November 15, the AGC of America, the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) and the Signatory Wall & Ceiling Contractors Alliance (SWACCA) filed a petition for review of OSHA’s new COVID-19 vaccination mandate. The groups explain that the new rule will put many construction companies at grave risk of losing a substantial number of their workers to smaller companies, instead of leading to more people getting vaccinated in the sector.
“We all want to see more construction workers vaccinated and we are all doing our part to make that happen,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the AGC of America's chief executive officer. “Encouraging vaccine-hesitant workers to shift to smaller employers won’t improve health and safety. It will just put firms that employ 100 or more workers at grave risk of losing the workers they need to complete projects.”

Inflation Alert
Every week brings new reports of materials costs hitting record highs, while lead times lengthen or become ever more uncertain. AGC of America revises their sought after
Construction Inflation Alert from time to time when market conditions warrant. This issue is from late September 2021. The document is intended to help members explain to owners, government officials, and others, what is happening and what all parties can do to minimize the damage.

Holiday Giving
Members are encouraged to get involved with several upcoming Young Leadership Program initiatives to help the local community and honor our nation's fallen heros.
On December 3, YLP will be collecting
Toys for Tots at Kevin Rathbun Steak. If your office would like to do a toy drive, you are welcome to drop off at either the restaurant in downtown or you can delivery your toys to the AGC Georgia office on or before December 2.
On December 7, YLP will be delivering
new or gently used luggage to leaders at Hillside in Midtown. Hillside's mission is to help children and their families thrive by providing outstanding residential and community health services. YLP has been a supporter of Hillside for nearly two decades. Each holiday season, more than 80 children in the care of Hillside provide a personalized wish list and 2-3 items on it. YLP purchases each child's wish list for the center's leaders to gift wrap.
On December 18, YLP invites all members to join them at the
Georgia National Cemetery in Canton to lay wreaths at the grave markers of our nation's fallen heros.
