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.

Earlier this morning, the White House announced an overarching program to target opioid overdoses across industries. The White House Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose highlights efforts in the construction industry undertaken by strategic alliance partners at TAUC, MCAA, NECA , and the SMACNA.
The announcement reads,
Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA), National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (SMACNA), and The Association of Union Constructors (TAUC) represent over 10,000 union contractors, providing employment for hundreds of thousands of skilled trade workers in the United States. These organizations, in collaboration with union partners, trained thousands of workers on substance use disorder and overdose prevention and distributed a limited quantity of naloxone. MCAA, NECA, SMACNA, and TAUC endorse having naloxone at all construction sites and urge employers to make the lifesaving medication available to their workforce.

The continuation of long-term efforts from the strategic alliance, the alliance reinforces our commitment to solve our industry’s opioid overdose epidemic, now with the help of White House staff. Meetings have been taking place centered on a coordinated industry effort to increase access to naloxone, and continue to be held to monitor progress.
TAUC Safety Director Alex Kopp, integral to the strategic alliance, spoke about the steps being taken, saying “TAUC commends the White House’s commitment to saving lives from overdose.

Together we can make significant strides in combating substance abuse as a whole.”
