Election Day Is November 4! Make a plan and vote.

Today is Election Day! Making your voice heard in every election, including local elections, is so important. Our elected leaders make critical decisions regarding labor law and can impact our ability to collectively bargain.

New Signatory Contractors and Members Join BAC Local 23 in Northwest Ohio Chapter

Scott Ansell, Field Rep for the Northwest Chapter, has been hard at work to grow our union. In the last few weeks, Field Rep Ansell has worked to organize several new contractors and members to join BAC Local 23!

Firman Masonry, Premier Waterproofing, and Industrial Power Systems have all signed on to the statewide agreement, and now are part of BAC Local 23 along with all of their current craftworkers.

In addition to the new signatory contractors, Ansell has signed up 6 new individual members while working on Project Labor Agreement jobsites in Toledo.

“It’s always great to get a signed union card back because I know what that means for our new members – a voice on the job. We’re always working to grow our union because we know that our greatest strength is our power in numbers. It’s been a great couple weeks growing our union family!” said Ansell.

Thank you to Brother Ansell for his tireless work out in the field!

AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better in a Union: Fighting for Freedom, Fairness and Security” Bus Tour Stops In Cleveland

The AFL-CIO’s “It’s Better in a Union: Fighting for Freedom, Fairness and Security” bus tour made a stop in Cleveland over the weekend, and Local 23 members joined together to listen to union leaders from all across the country and all industries talk about how the current administration’s policies are harming workers.

IUBAC President Tim Driscoll attended the Cleveland event, saying, “The one big, beautiful bill is marketing BS… it gives tax breaks to the wealthiest among us at the expense of our Medicaid and health care. We’re gonna keep speaking truth to power.”

Thank you to all the Local 23 members who showed up to stand up for our rights as union workers. Solidarity forever.
