About us
The Construction Industry Service Corporation (CISCO) is a non-profit labor management association founded in 1988 in an effort to promote cooperative, non-adversarial relationships between members of Labor and management. Our membership consists of Labor Unions and signatory contractor associations from the Unionized construction trades in Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Kane and Kendall Counties. Collectively, we represent more than 8,000 Union contractors and 140,000 Union construction workers. CISCO’s mission is to strengthen the Unionized construction market in the greater Chicagoland area. In Union construction, Labor-management cooperation is directly related to market share, and to build market share, it takes the cooperation of the entire industry. Here’s why it's working: • In Northeastern Illinois, Labor and management have maintained non-adversarial relationships for decades, which have allowed the industry to progress more quickly. By working together, Labor and management can enhance the overall quality of the industry, which benefits everyone. • Unions building trades and contractors hold a dominant market share in construction in the Chicago Metropolitan area. One of the main contributors to this success is the cooperative relationship that exists between Labor and management. At CISCO, we look for new ways to promote Union construction and provide valuable services to all our member organizations.

It is with heavy hearts that CISCO shares the news of the passing of Don Henderson on Oct. 20, 2024. He was a founding Board Member of CISCO, our area’s largest Labor and Management Organization. His son David is a current CISCO Board Member and past Board President. After high school, Don joined his father in the family construction business. Jos. J. Henderson and Son, Inc. was started in 1928 and is still operating as a family business. Don was a proud member of the International Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners Local 250. Above all else, Don loved building things. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society or one of the many charities he supported. Rest in peace, Don. You will be deeply missed. https://lnkd.in/gtXVXTvD
