HISTORY AND PURPOSE
The Interior Finish Contractors Association ("IFCA") was founded in 1968 by the principal union finishing contractors in the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey trading area.
IFCA's purpose is to represent the concerns of IFCA Contractors, both
large and small. In this capacity, IFCA's functions include negotiating
and administering collective bargaining
agreements with unions that represent the employees of IFCA's Members;
promoting the interests of furniture systems and interior finish contractors;
providing a conduit for the interchange of information between and among
our contractors; dealing with owners, architects and general contractors;
assisting, where appropriate, with claims, collections
and jurisdictional disputes affecting our members; and taking a
pro-active role to promote our industry. In addition, IFCA offers assistance
in training and educating our members as
well as dispensing information relevant to our industry.
