The Association of Union Constructors (TAUC) is the only multi-trade, all-union contractor association in the United States. Membership is comprised of more than 2,000 construction firms that utilize union labor for their construction and maintenance projects, as well as local contractor associations, vendors and service providers in the industrial maintenance and construction sector. Founded in 1969 as the National Erectors Association (NEA), the organization initially served as the voice for union steel erector companies. Over the years, however, union contractors from other business sectors began to gravitate toward the NEA due to its success in forging productive relationships between labor and management. The tent grew larger, and in 2007, we officially changed our name to TAUC, a national organization that represents all union construction and maintenance contractors regardless of specialty.
