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.

Labor Department Sued by Unions over Employer Paid PPE Rule
February 13 2007
Safety and Health
Citing the Department of Labor’s (DOL) failure to issue a final standard requiring employers to cover the cost of workers’ personal protective equipment (PPE), the AFL-CIO and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union have filed a lawsuit against DOL.
Under review at the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), final action on the standard has not been taken for several years and remains on the agency’s regulatory agenda. The recent lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The AFL-CIO and UFCW requested that an order be issued giving Elaine L. Chao, Secretary of Labor, 60 days to complete the PPE rule.
