Building and Construction Trades Dept.- Represents over 3 million construction workers who belong to the 15 affiliated international and national Building Trades unions. This web site was established to help you understand and interact in their mission.

Food and Allied Service Trades Dept.- The principal reason they have launched this website is to make available to you their new "Manual of Corporate Investigation: Building Profiles of Public and Private Companies."
