The Associated Builders and Contractors has launched a new website, TheTruthAboutEFCA.com, to help educate the public about the sweeping economic and workplace consequences of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), or "card check" legislation. TheTruthAboutEFCA.com will track the latest news from the mainstream media and social networking sites, highlight academic studies and public opinion data, and contain video ads and interviews to expose EFCA's threat to the U.S. economy and an employee's right to a federally supervised private-ballot during union organizing activities.

You start simply, and as you go you'll get more and more detailed. Job costing just becomes a way of running the business. It's a matter of having the discipline to do it. You have to be dedicated and you have to make sure you're putting your costs in the right spots.'
