TAUC Leadership Conference Video Now Available

September 5, 2008 • Some of the country's top union leaders recently took part in a town-hall style forum during The Association of Union Constructors' (TAUC) 2008 Leadership Conference. The five general presidents responded to questions at the annual event, which attracted union contractors, labor representatives, employer associations, and construction users from around the country to discuss the future of the union construction industry.

The union leaders who participated in the discussion moderated by Mark Breslin included the following: General President Patrick Finley of the Operative Plasters and Cement Masons' International Association, President John Flynn of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, International President Edwin Hill of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, General President Joseph Hunt of the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Ironworkers and General President James Williams of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades.

 

“This was a critical step in the ongoing path to improving the dialogue between the building trades and contractors,” said Stephen Lindauer, TAUC CEO. “Ensuring a viable working relationship between both groups means high quality and affordable industrial construction.”

 

A video of the discussion is available on TAUC's website, along with other videos that cover a variety of topics. The audiovisual presentations spotlight the benefits of being a member of TAUC, special industry events, and the value of union construction.
