Ralph Affrunti Honors Family Members

As many of you may know, the ADC 1 entrance of pavers is a special place members can memorialize family members that also belonged to the BAC.

It was the labor movement that helped secure so much of what we take for granted today. The 40-hour work week, the minimum wage, family leave, health insurance, Social Security, Medicare, retirement plans. The cornerstones of the middle-class security all bear the union label.
- Barack Obama
