UCATT
UCATT is the UK’s only trade union specialising in construction;
with 125,000 members spread throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern
Ireland. UCATT also organizes building workers in the Republic of Ireland.
UCATT was formed in 1971 to represent all building trades. UCATT’s true
foundations, like those of fine buildings, run deep below the surface. The four
unions which came together to create UCATT, the ASW (Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers),
the ASPD (Amalgamated Society of Painters and Decorators), the ABT (Association
of Building Technicians) and the AUBTW (Amalgamated Union of Building Trade Workers)
were themselves the products of mergers among construction trade unions, some
of which could trace their pedigree back over two centuries or even claim to
be the descendants of the craft guilds of medieval times.

UCATT operates from the bottom up, with members
belonging to one of 500 branches throughout the UK and the Republic
of Ireland. Each branch elects officers to run the branch and can nominate
representatives to the Regional Council and the highest policy making
body of the union the National Delegate Conference.
Branches are allocated to a region on a geographical basis; at present
there are 10 UCATT regions. Regional Councils meet monthly and deal
with all matters affecting the region. The Regional delegation to National
Delegate Conference is based on the size of membership in the region.
A Regional Secretary runs the business of the Region.
