The Association of Union Constructors
The Association of Union Constructors evolved from the National Erectors Association, which was founded in 1969 by the leading union steel erectors in the construction industry. Over the years, membership grew to include all types of union contractors, and, consequently, the name and structure of the association was changed to The Association of Union Constructors in 2007. The new association reflects the changing face of the construction industry and more accurately reflects the growing diversity of TAUC members.
Our national headquarters is located in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from downtown Washington, D.C.

AFL-CIO Executive Committee Moves on Organizing, Political Plans
July 8 2005
Labor Relations
The AFL-CIO Executive Council during its June 27 meeting in Washington, D.C., overwhelmingly approved two key proposals intended to improve workers? lives and strengthen the union movement. The first proposal aims to increase resources and capacity for organizing and member mobilization for politics and legislation, while strengthening state and local union movements. The second proposal strives to increase leadership diversity in the movement.
Council approval of the plans sends them to the AFL-CIO Convention, which begins July 25 in Chicago, for a final vote. If approved, the resolutions would create a $22.5 million Strategic Organizing Fund, establish industry coordinating committees to focus on strategic organizing, promote strategic union mergers, build year-round capacity for member political and legislative mobilization and ensure representation of women and people of color on AFL-CIO governing bodies. The Executive Council also approved a two-year budget that funds the organizing and member mobilization programs.
