BAC1
 
 
Founded in 1865, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers’ goal is to improve our members’ quality of life — on and off the job — through access to good paying jobs, quality benefits, safe working conditions, and solidarity among members. We represent craftworkers across the United States and Canada including bricklayers, stone and marble masons, cement masons, plasterers, tilesetters, terrazzo and mosaic workers, and pointers/cleaners/caulkers. With more than a century of protecting the rights of our workers, BAC is the oldest continuous union in North America.
