Cherne Contracting has been a union only constructor since its inception in 1916. This has always been by choice. Our accomplishments and reputation are directly linked to the value provided us by trained union craft working in harmony with project management. We are committed to demonstrating that union construction delivers a superior value.

We firmly believe peak performance can only be realized when people are allowed to work in a safe, non-intimidating environment that provides a vehicle for fulfillment of the basic human desires of respect, dignity and sense of accomplishment. We ensure this by:

Our expectations of you as craftpersons are premised on the golden rule of “Eight for eight with dignity and pride.” Our expectations include:

•	Working safely and bringing unsafe conditions to the attention of your supervisor.
•	Mentoring apprentices; they are our future.
•	Contributing to the achievement of project goals to the fullest of your ability.
•	Maintaining a drug free work site through compliance with the Cherne Substance Abuse Policy.
•	Arriving on time at the beginning of each shift.
•	Productively working all scheduled time during the course of each shift.
•	Scheduling your time away from work with your supervisor.
•	Following all project work rules, most are for your protection.
•	Respecting your fellow employees.

Our success is never measured in terms of dollars and cents but rather in terms of client satisfaction. Our continued participation in this increasingly competitive industry is contingent upon our ability to provide superior value. With your help we can continue to show that union construction provides this value.
