Stand Up to Construction Industry Tax Fraud 2025
Tax Fraud affects us all, and during Tax Fraud Days of Action Union Carpenters from across the UBC join efforts to raise awareness and stop tax fraud. When crooked contractors cheat the system, our communities are cheated out of millions in tax revenue. This impacts our schools, roads, emergency services, public safety, and other resources that benefit the community. It also contributes to wage theft, labor abuse, human trafficking, cheap wages, and brings an unskilled and unsafe workforce to our neighborhoods. It’s never been more critical to stand up against tax fraud.
