Celebrating Pride in the Construction Workforce: A Commitment to Inclusivity and safe workspaces

In this blog post, we celebrate Pride Month by honoring the invaluable contributions of the LGBTQIA2S+ community to the construction industry in Washington state. We address the ongoing issue of harassment and bullying within the workplace and highlight the essential guidelines released by the U.S. Department of Labor and the EEOC to combat these issues. Our commitment at the Construction Center of Excellence goes beyond symbolic gestures, focusing on fostering a culture of accountability, inclusivity, and support.
