Contracts
LABOR RELATIONS IN CONSTRUCTION
1-1. Purpose. This regulation is designed to provide guidelines for all U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) employees tasked with the administration and enforcement of statutory and
contractual labor standards on construction contracts. Its primary aim is to affect a uniform
enforcement program throughout USACE. Achieving compliance with labor standards requires
the understanding of the underlying regulations, initiative, and cooperation on the part of all
personnel. This ER contains the answers to the questions that most generally arise in connection
with contract labor relations functions on USACE acquisitions. Official acquisition policy is
found in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and its supplements. If there is any conflict
between the FAR and its supplements and this regulation, the current FAR and its supplements
apply.
1-2. Applicability. This regulation is applicable to all Major Subordinate Commands districts,
laboratories, centers, and field operating activities under the jurisdiction of the Chief of
Engineers.
1-3. Distribution Statement. Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
