Large contractors, union shops better at anti-harassment training

More than two-thirds of contractors now offer anti-harassment training, a finding that suggests a majority of construction companies recognize the importance of creating an inclusive worksite, according to a recent report from Dodge Construction Network. Contractors that hire union workers are more than twice as likely (85%) to have anti-harassment training than those that hire non-union workers exclusively (42%). Produced in partnership with CPWR, The Center for Construction Research and Training, the report found that despite the industry’s racist, sexist reputation, contractors are emphasizing tolerance and acceptance on jobsites via anti-harassment training. It is far more common for contractors that exclusively hire non-union craftworkers to only offer the training when needed, rather than with a regular cadence.
