Agreements between New York City and a group representing some 50 construction unions does not violate federal labor law, Southern District Judge Robert P. Patterson ruled yesterday in dismissing a lawsuit by two contractor associations challenging the agreement.

It alleged the city’s “project labor agreements” with the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York, which represents about 50 unions, ran afoul of the National Labor Relations Act. The agreements set terms for the employment of over 30,000 construction workers on city projects through 2014.
