Building Trades Employers’ Association
About
The Building Trades Employers’ Association Northeast, known as BTEA, is the region’s leading association of union subcontractors, representing union building trades contractors across New England and parts of upstate New York. It brings contractors and labor unions together, negotiating and administering collective bargaining agreements, taking part in the governance of trust funds and engaging on policies that affect union construction. Member firms gain business networking, industry advocacy and access to complimentary education and training courses.
The association has been advancing the union construction industry for more than 100 years. Today it represents ten trade associations covering 15 trades and works alongside 70 local unions in seven states. Its programming spans workforce development, safety and professional growth, with courses on topics like construction project controls, documentation and recordkeeping, and foreman leadership. Member events include a recurring golf tournament that raises money for the TJG Fund in memory of Tom “T2” Gunning.
