The Washington State Building and Construction Trades Council, AFL-CIO, is a voluntary coalition of over 60 construction-related labor organizations. Speaking for workers in a wide variety of crafts, the Building Trades Council provides organized and centralized representation before the State Legislature, as well as numerous boards and commissions. The Building & Construction Trades Council also performs research and member outreach for our affiliated locals.

Council officers and a directory of affiliates can be found on the links to the left. The Building Trades have a small full-time staff, supplemented by affiliate staff released during the legislative session to provide additional lobbying support. Feel free to browse through our website, and address any comments or questions to Neil Hartman.
