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.

In Memoriam: Richard C. Higgins, 1921-2010
March 4 2011
Richard Calvin Higgins, a construction executive for 50 years and a former board member of TAUC’s predecessor organization, The National Erectors Association, passed away Dec. 30, 2010 at the age of 89.
Mr. Higgins joined the family business, Higgins Erectors and Haulers in upstate New York, when he was just 16. He left to attend the University of Michigan and then serve as a lieutenant in the Army Signal Corps in World War II. He returned to the family business and was instrumental in its expansion; during his tenure the company had offices in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester and Syracuse.
Mr. Higgins is survived by his wife of 65 years, the former Ruth Elizabeth Smith; and two sons, Richard C. Jr. and Robert W.
The TAUC Board of Directors and all of our members extend their deepest sympathies to the Higgins family.
