The Southern California Labor Cement Masons Management Cooperation Committee (LMCC) is comprised of representatives from the OPCMIA Cement Masons Union Locals 500 and 600, Associated General Contractors, Southern California Contractors Association, Engineering Contractors Association, and the Building Industry Association. We are committed to work together to ensure fair contracting throughout Southern California. This includes compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to bidding and performing work on prevailing wage projects. Unscrupulous contractors are bad for workers, bad for contractors who play by the rules and bad for the public who are the ultimate consumers of public works projects. Through this program, we strive to level the playing field for fair contractors who are committed to meeting their legal obligations and treating their workers fairly.  

To enforce labor laws, the LMCC interacts with multiple governmental agencies. Depending on the scope of the alleged violations, the LMCC corresponds with agencies that have authority to bring both civil and criminal actions following their investigations. This includes  the Workers Compensation Fraud Unit, CA Department of Industrial Relations, CA Division of Apprenticeship Standards, CA Employment Development Department’s Fraud Division, CA Department of Insurance, CA Franchise Tax Board, CA Department of Labor, CA Contractors Licensing Board, District Attorney’s Offices, and others. Through our initial investigation, we are diligent in gathering the necessary information to support violations we report. For that reason, when we file with these agencies these agencies they generally act on our complaints resulting in favorable decisions.
