Apples and oranges. The union membership is not a certification of skill...it is a labor organization. IAABO boards, and others (AFAIK), don't operate as labor organizations.

Still, if it was actually built by union workers, there is not much the union can do to stop them from claiming it was...it is merely the statement of a simple fact. They may not be able to cite that it was done so by a specific union or use the union's logo, but that is different than references to the general fact that the workers were members of the union.
