Construction Leaders to Gather for Annual Winter Forum
October 4, 2007 • Construction industry leaders from around the nation will soon be gathering for The Association of Union Constructors (TAUC) annual conference in
The forum agenda will include a legislative update on construction industry issues and TAUC chairman reports from the Labor Committee and the Safety and Health Committee. Panels will be held on enhanced welding certification programs, as well as the topic of achieving a zero-injury workplace. The featured speaker at the event will be Mark Ayers, the newly elected president of the Building & Construction Trades Department.
“As the newly elected president of the Building & Construction Trades Department, I believe that the TAUC winter forum is a very significant and important event, mainly because it provides an opportunity for all segments of the union construction industry • contractors, owner representatives, and labor leaders • to exchange ideas and best practices, and to collectively, and substantively, engage in practical and strategic discussions over those issues that are central to the advancement of our common interests,” said Ayers.
“This event will serve to not only inform the country's most prominent union contractors about the health and safety, workforce and political issues facing our industry; it will also provide a significant opportunity for open discussion on how we, as a community of concerned union contractors, can improve the current state of our industry,” said Robert Hoover, TAUC president.
