Legislative Committee

Legislative Advisory Committee

UCON’s Advocacy team exists to improve the market share for union-contractors at all levels. The Legislative Committee serves as the chief platform for members to provide input and ideas on a wide variety of legislation relevant to our contractors. The committee meets twice annually and on an as-needed basis to review, analyze and provide input on a wide variety of policy and legislative matters.
