North Carolina Building & Construction Trades Council
The North Carolina Building and Construction Trades Unions stand as the united voice and shield for the working families who build our state. We exist to challenge the status quo, dismantle the barriers to fair compensation, and elevate the standard of living for all construction craft professionals across North Carolina.
Mission
Through unyielding solidarity, aggressive organizing, and strategic legislative advocacy, The North Carolina Building and Construction Trades Unions fight to secure family-sustaining wages, comprehensive healthcare, and dignified retirement benefits. We believe that the men and women whose sweat and skill lay the literal foundations of North Carolina’s economic growth deserve more than just a paycheck—they deserve a seat at the table, absolute safety on the job, and the full measure of respect and dignity that their labor has earned.

The Core Pillars of the Mission
Organizing for Power
We commit to organizing the unorganized, bringing the protection and prosperity of collective bargaining to every corner of North Carolina’s construction industry.
Defending Worker Safety
We believe no job is worth a worker’s life. We enforce and advocate for rigorous safety standards, ensuring every brother and sister return home whole at the end of their shift.
Combating Exploitation
We actively fight against wage theft, worker misclassification, and the erosion of labor standards by low-road contractors who exploit working people for corporate profit.
Community Wealth Building
By keeping wages high and benefits secure, we ensure that the wealth generated by North Carolina’s construction boom stays right here in our local communities and families.

Invest in North Carolina’s people, not just its buildings.
If you want to build in our state, you must respect the people who do the work. We call on North Carolina’s leaders and developers to reject low-road exploitation and commit to Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) that guarantee living wages, local hire initiatives, and safe jobsites.
