AFL - CIO Housing Investment Trust 24 The HIT’s union labor policy is designed to achieve the objective of facilitating employment for union members in the construction trades and related industries.  The policy requires all on - site construction or rehabilitation work to be performed 100% union by contractors and subcontractors who are signatory with local unions having jurisdiction for work in the area.  No project is financed until the local building and construction trades council ( BCTC ) has concurred with plans for achieving the labor policies for the project. The general contractor or construction manager (GC/CM) conducts a pre - job meeting with the BCTC to assure appropriate subcontractor assignments.  Every borrower agrees to the HIT’s labor policies by signing a labor certification, assuring that the developer and GC/CM will adhere to the union requirements.  HIT works with the local BCTC, GC/CM, and developer prior to an investment to assure that the labor policy will be met on any project under consideration.  HIT is also available to help the BCTC and GC/CM identify signatory subcontractors.  Once a project is underway, HIT continues to monitor the project and works with the local BCTC and GC/CM to help assure that construction proceeds timely and harmoniously .
