IMSCA June 2021 SubStance Magazine Issue
|
Please click on the link for the Summer 2021 Issue of SubStance Magazine brought to you by the Illinois Mechanical & Specialty Contractors Association (IMSCA).
In this issue you will find a message from IMSCA President, Chad Fricke highlighting the importance of adapting to ongoing challenges we are facing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, IMSCA General Counsel Jim Rohlfing discusses ways contractors can combat material supply disruptions and cost escalation. Also included in this issue is an article outlining a new Illinois law, the Employee Background Fairness Act, which significantly restricts employers' ability to use criminal conviction information in employment decisions. We hope you find this issue useful and informative. Please feel free to forward this message to your friends and colleagues.
