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.

UA's Stephen Kelly Retires; Mike Pleasant Named Assistant GP
August 5 2014
Stephen F. Kelly, Assistant General President of the United Association international union, retired June 30.
“Brother Kelly is one of the finest labor leaders I have known,” said UA General President Bill Hite. “It has been an honor to work side by side with him over the years, and especially during his time as our Assistant General President.”
Kelly has been a member of the UA since 1969. He started out working as a pipefitter and welder in the Youngstown, Ohio area and later in Arizona. Over the ensuing decades, he moved up the ranks, and was elected as BUsiness Manager of Local 230 in San Diego in 1989. In 1997, he accepted a position with the UA as Special Representative; in 2001, he was elected to the position of International Representative; and in 2004, became the UA’s Assistant General President.
“Stephen will be greatly missed — not just by his friends and coworkers at the UA, but by the entire union construction industry,” said TAUC CEO Steve Lindauer.
Succeeding Kelly as Assistant General President is Mike Pleasant, who formerly served as Administrative Assistant to the General President. Pleasant also serves as President and Labor Co-Chair of the National Maintenance Agreements Policy Committee, Inc. (NMAPC), and will continue to serve in that role.
“Having worked closely with Mike over the past several years, I can’t think of anyone better able to step into the role of Assistant General President,” added Lindauer, who also serves as Impartial Secretary of the NMAPC.
