Announcing the 2021-2022 NECA Manual of Labor Units |
NECA is excited to announce the launch of the 2021-2022 edition of the MLU. This edition features new labor units for cable bus, conduit tags, all-threaded hanger rods, coaxial cable, traffic light camera controls and much more.
To provide all NECA members with more options, we are releasing an all-new web subscription to enhance user experience. The subscription features the ability to export sections to excel, utilize calculators, customize column factoring and more.
Each NECA member company is able to request a free copy of the MLU each cycle and we’re providing more value than ever this year—each NECA member company will get one seat of access to the new web subscription (a $385 value)! This subscription will provide access over the life of this edition of the MLU with 2 years of access to the labor units!
