TPMC, LLC

Worker involvement is fundamental to TPMC's strategy for safe, timely, and cost-effective execution of all elements of its work at PORTS. No one knows more about a job than the person who does it or has more to lose because of bad planning or poorly implemented safety precautions. Important initiatives must have worker buy-in if they are to be successfully implemented and sustained. TPMC includes hourly, USW-represented workers in work planning and program implementation staff groups.

Buck Sheward “If my experience has taught me anything, it is that important initiatives cannot be implemented and sustained just from the top down. That is why TPMC is so serious about Worker Involvement and (proposed) including hourly workers in the formal work planning and critical program implementation process with the same full-time status and responsibility as salaried staff professionals.”
