DNB Masonry, H&J Brick Restoration Specialists LLC and Vilardo’s Complete Masonry have all joined the BAC Local 23 family as signatory contractors. This means new opportunities for our members and more work in the future!

“It’s always a good day when we are able to bring on one new signatory contractor to our union. But three in one week? Fantastic. It’s a testament to the hard work of all of our field representatives and organizers and the strength of Local 23. These contractors know that when they need work done, our members will get the job done with the skill and professionalism that only union craftworkers can bring,” said Local 23 President Danny Musacchio. “I’d also like to thank all of our incredible training staff across our union. Their work has prepared Local 23 to be ready for moments like these. We have worked hard to build our union and today we celebrate the result of all that work.”

Local 23 attended the Cleveland Builds program over the weekend to help train the next generation of bricklayers! Local 23’s training segment had 8 students and within two hours, they were showing significant improvement. Cleveland Field Rep. Nicole Ohmer, Cleveland Field Rep. Joe Harrison and Membership Administrative Rep. Dave Greer, went over laying brick to the line, striking and finishing work. All the participants were very engaged and seemed to have a lot of fun.

“It’s an honor and a privilege for us to try to show the next generation of bricklayers and allied craftworkers some of the skills necessary for success in our trade. These trainings strengthen our union and our trade and it’s encouraging to see the students learn so quick and show excitement for the work,” said Harrison.
