Political Action Committee

Political Action Committee (PAC)

The UCON Political Action Committee (PAC) has proven to be one of the most effective industry PACs in California. It has laid the foundation for some of our most important successes: protecting SB 1 funding, the Road Repair & Accountability Act; securing a construction carve-out for independent truckers under AB 5; legislation to make 5% retention permanent policy in CA; securing the union-contractor market share in public works, defeating extreme environmental and anti-business legislation, and more. And it has paved the way for tens of billions of dollars in federal, state, and local infrastructure measures.

The UCON PAC is committed to electing and defending candidates who are pro-build, pro-industry, and support union contractors. Your support is essential to this mission. Contributing to the UCON PAC ensures your political dollars protect and defend your business, no matter what size or specialty.

 

“Now more than ever it is critical to have a voice in Sacramento and Washington D.C. - the UCON PAC gives each member this voice ‘in the room where it happens’.”
