Why build Union?
Union Building Trades Workers built Rochester. Everywhere you look there is evidence of their impact on our community. Whether it was untangling the "Can of Worms", working on Frontier Field or building Rochester's Skyline, Union workers were there.

Building Trades Unions provide trained workers that are only a phone call away, ready to meet strict standards and skill levels. They're a quality labor force that can save money on construction projects by building it right the first time without the high costs of wasted materials and rebuilding. Team players who have a stake in our community and are building Rochester -- on time, on budget.
