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.

Four Lawsuits Facing OSHA Regarding Hexavalent Chromium Are to Be Combined
May 12 2006
TAUC News
According to the May 3rd edition of Construction Labor Report, four lawsuits challenging the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) final hexavalent chromium rule will be consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third District.
Parties involved include:
- The Building and Construction Trades Department, AFL-CIO, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Laborers’ International Union
- The National Association of Manufacturers
- Edison Electric Institute
- Public Citizen Health Research Group
The final rule’s exposure limit (PEL) of 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air is in dispute. While affected industries characterize the PEL as too low and infeasible, the unions and Public Citizen contend it is too high to protect workers.
