Brick, Marble & Terrazzo Agreements Reached

Dear Members:

June 1, 2020 starts another year for wage and benefit improvements for the BAC Membership.

This year we negotiated three agreements, Brick, Marble, and Terrazzo.

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
