ABOUT THE NCA
The National Construction Alliance (NCA) was formed in early 2006 as a 21st century solution to meet the challenges of the construction industry in this century and beyond. Modeled after the former National Heavy and Highway Alliance (NHHA), the NCA continues to build on more than fifty years of success and partnerships originally formed by the NHHA.
To meet those needs, the Affiliated Unions of the NCA, including the Laborers International Union of North America, the International Union of Operating Engineers, and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, in concert with our contractors, adopted a new approach and now share a unified position – to ensure the success of our contractors, then supply the best trained, safest and most productive workforce in the world. The International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers and the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers remain strong partners in the NCA’s Heavy and Highway Division.
In addition to maintaining the collective bargaining agreements of the former NHHA, the NCA’s broad charter includes all work in the “basic trades”, including heavy and highway, industrial, commercial, maintenance, power and capital improvements. The NCA is an aggressive and responsive alliance that fully represents the interests of our members, contractors and clients in both the United States and Canada.
The NCA will continue to focus its efforts on re-establishing a significant basic trades’ presence and increasing market share. Unlike any other organization past or present, the NCA speaks with the unified voices of its Affiliated Unions and the many world-class contractors who employ our members.
Our promise to our contractors, clients and members is to:
*establish consistent labor policies and procedures that benefit all parties
*develop guidelines to resolve any unforeseen issues
*provide opportunities for workers from the local geographic area
*support and promote community outreach
*develop an economical and efficient labor relations plan and strategy for our
clients to reduce interruptions and cost overruns
*provide innovative training and certification to apprentices and journeymen to
ensure the highest skill level possible
*prevent work stoppages and slowdowns
The National Construction Alliance and its 1.8 million+ members have set the standard for the future of construction – measuring success through partnership.
