Union Dental Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:UDHI) -- a provider of multi-state dental services for union members, is pleased to announce that following a presentation by Dr. George D. Green, UDHI's President and CEO, the UA Local 295 has voted to utilize the services of UDHI to build a network of dental providers to be used by its members. The exclusive agreement will call for Union Dental to build and maintain a Dental Network for use by the United Association (UA) members. As a part of the exclusive nature of the agreement, Union Dental will be the only Dental Network the UA will endorse for use by its members. The UA represents approximately 300,000 members across North America working in the plumbing, pipefitting and trades industries. The UA has members in both the United States and Canada and stands out among the American unions in the AFL-CIO. William P. Hite, President of UA in the USA and Canada stated, "United Association is very proud of our membership and our work. Our motto, 'We Do It Right the First Time,' shows our integrity and determination to not only do our best, but with expertise." Mr. Hite continued to say, "We strive to improve our members' skills and excellence through our robust training programs." Dr. George D. Green, President and C.E.O. of Union Dental Holdings commented: "UA Local 295 is a self insured union local and as such is more discerning about whom they pick to supply their dental network. I will be making a presentation at their next state President's meeting to propose a state wide agreement for UA. Their selection of UDC sends a message to all other UA locals nationwide. We are pleased to enter this relationship with Local 295 which will provide essential services to their membership and a strong economic backbone for our company for years to come." Dr. Green continued to say, "The agreement with the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters will bring Union Dental a step closer to establishing our ultimate goal, where we intend to build a nation-wide network of dentists to service the dental needs of union members."
