40 YEARS OF BUILDING FOR TODAY AND TRAINING FOR TOMORROW

The Phoenix Building and Construction Trades Council was granted its charter by the National Building and Construction Trades Department on July 21, 1965.  It had 16 affiliated local unions covering most of the state of Arizona. For the past 40 years the council has worked to help building trade unions make job sites safer, improve apprenticeship training, upgrade journeymen training, organize new workers, support elected officials who support working families, improve wages, and working conditions through collective bargaining agreements, and project labor agreements.                                                          The National Building and Construction Trades Department approved action that allowed the Phoenix Building and Construction Trades Council to merge with the Southern Arizona Building Trades Council.  The merger was complete on November 17th 2004, creating the Arizona State Building and Construction Trades Council with 17 affiliated local unions covering the state of Arizona.  With the merger of the two councils complete the Arizona State Building and Construction Trades Council will begin to build for today and train for tomorrow.
