The Allied Construction Employers Association (ACEA) was incorporated in 1936 to represent union-signatory construction subcontractors in labor relations and other industry matters. ACEA is the collective, unified voice of union-signatory construction subcontractors in Wisconsin. ACEA also manages the Industry Advancement Program (IAP) and provides resources for union subcontractors to improve their understanding and access to pertinent industry specific information. In 2021, after many years of working with legal counsel John Nesse during contract negotiations, ACEA partnered with Management Guidance, LLP (MGLLP) to administer the association. This partnership has strengthened the financial longevity of the association and gives all ACEA members access to qualified legal counsel with experience in the labor relations, employment law, and construction law fields.
