13. LABOR SHORTAGE MANAGEMENT
 Shortage of skilled labors is one of the biggest
issue in construction works
 This shortage can be occurred due to labor union
strikes, quarrel between two labor groups, too
many construction site around at a time, high
wage demand etc.
 However management should overcome this
issue by maintaining peaceful and trustworthy
environment and by providing sufficient wage
 To occupy skilled labors rather than non-skilled
labors will save time and increase strength and
quality of construction.
