Pro Union Consulting, LLC Sees Growth In Economic Downturn

Pro Union Consulting is the brainchild of Founder and President Matt Kolbinsky. The company’s focus is training rank-and-file union members to become successful signatory contractors. While construction spending is down nationwide, enrollment is up for Pro Union Consulting. Packed classes such as the one put on at the Electrical Training Institute in January are testament to the growing demand. Some students have traveled from out of state to receive the same training credited with launching dozens of union enterprises into profitability.

The program has been updated to reflect the realities of today’s market conditions. More emphasis is being put on collections upon completion of work, mechanics liens and stop notices. New contractors are often unprepared to deal with customers who delay payments according to Kolbinsky.

Pro Union Consulting Sees Growth

Pro Union Consulting L.L.C. is the brainchild of founder and President Matt Kolbinky. Services include training for union members interested in becoming successful signatory contractors. In the early days of the company services were offered only to union electrical workers however interest in the training has increased by other trades convinced that growing contractors from their own members is the key to expanding union market share. Demand has increased and Pro Union Consulting has expanded to include additional trades such as plumbers, pipe fitters and iron workers. The effect of well trained, highly skilled workers being encouraged to become profitable signatory contractors has had a great effect on the construction industry and organizing. Kolbinsky’s training has already resulted in the creation of 50 union contractors to date and he has set a goal of 1000 union contractors within 10 years.
