The Construction User 2.0 - Episode 19: Healthcare Over Sick-care: A conversation with Larry Bradley

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.

Podcast

In this episode, we take a closer look at healthcare in the construction industry and question our traditional approach. Larry Bradley, an author, consultant, and former NECA executive director, shares insights on how our current healthcare system is more about “sick-care” than actual health management. Join us as we consider alternative perspectives and ways to shift this paradigm.

Larry Bradley worked with the Penn-Del-Jersey Chapter, NECA for 27 years in virtually every capacity of association management, serving as Executive Director for 18 years. His work positively impacted the lives of thousands of IBEW members and their families. He was inducted into the Academy of Electrical Contractors, NECA’s highest honor to recognize exceptional and outstanding service to the electrical contracting industry. Bradley has worked to ensure that funds are wisely managed, ensuring that the benefits offered to workers are available to them throughout their lives. The Construction User 2.0 podcast is brought to you by The Association of Union Constructors (TAUC).
