Announcing: The 2021-2022 Edition of the NECA Manual of Labor Units
We are excited to announce the launch of the 2021-2022 edition of the MLU. This edition features new labor units for cable bus, conduit tags, all-threaded hanger rods, coaxial cable, traffic light camera controls and much more.
To provide all NECA members with more options, we are releasing an all-new web subscription to enhance user experience. The subscription features the ability to export sections to excel, utilize calculators, customize column factoring and more.
Each NECA member will receive a free copy of the MLU and this cycle we’re providing each NECA member company with one seat of access to the new web subscription (a $385 value)! This subscription will provide access over the life of this edition of the MLU with 2 years of access to the labor units!
Accredited Representatives will receive an email with access instructions to this new system within the next two weeks.
Additional copies of the MLU can be purchased in the NECA Store.

For the first time since 2019, the NECA National Legislative Conference is returning in-person this March 28–31 at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, D.C. Join fellow contractors from around the country for updates on Congress, electrical industry priorities, NECA’s lobbying and fundraising efforts, and more.
OSHA is interested in obtaining additional information about the extent/nature of hazardous heat in the workplace, the nature/effectiveness of interventions, and controls used to prevent heat illness. We are asking our NECA members to participate in the rule making process by responding to a Heat Illness and Injury Survey. Responses will be used to develop meaningful public comments to OSHA. This process helps to ensure our industry is adequately represented as new regulation is developed.
In this episode we speak with Jason Seger the president of Border States Electric. Jason shares his thoughts on innovative approaches impacting the electrical contracting supply chain. He also discusses how electrical contractors can build stronger relationships with distributors and manufacturer to outpace the competition. Jason also shares how being an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) company increases Border State’s ability to support their customers and be more innovative.
