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.

Ben Hur CEO responds to worries of U.S. "skills gap"
August 25 2011
Bill Brown, CEO of Ben Hur Construction Co. and past president of TAUC, recently had a letter published in the Wall Street Journal on the subject of worker training and a perceived U.S. “skills gap.”
Brown was responding to an article by U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Mary Landrieu that claimed many employers want to hire more workers, and as many as three million jobs currently remain unfilled because they can’t find qualified employees with the right skill sets. Brown calls this a “troubling misconception,” and adds, “The senators would score some high marks with roughly 40,000 literate, skilled, unemployed or under-employed ironworkers if they were to let us know exactly where these three million jobs are.”
