A VALUE-CENTRIC BUILDING TRADES

NABTU is dedicated to the stability of employment and economic security of organized construction workers in North America. The private investments made by our unions and our signatory contractors have created the most renowned apprenticeship training and education infrastructure found anywhere in the world. NABTU also works in close partnership with a wide array of industries to seek and secure a wide array of public policy challenges that lead to greater economic development across America.

Independent data shows unionized construction productivity and their workforce development programs can't be beat

The latest research shows that unionized Construction Productivity is 14 percent higher, and our labor costs are four percent lower than nonunion.

NABTU and CPWR have launched a newsletter to help the construction industry prevent suicides and deaths from opioids. REASON (Resources and Effective programs Addressing Suicides and Opioids Now) responds to these pressing issues by sharing comprehensive solutions, important research, and free resources that highlight positive steps being taken.

NABTU possesses and maintains a culture and a set of fundamental values that bind all of us collectively as the world’s finest skilled craft professionals. And that culture also connects with a fierce advocacy for community wage and benefit standards that properly reward such work…all of which helps to build stronger communities, more productive industries, and a healthier and more prosperous nation”
