OH-KY ADC

Local 8 was founded by Union Craftsman on March 17th 1886. The Local was started on blood, guts, determination and most importantly the knowledge that all brother trowel tradesmen are treated as equals. All Craftsman, whether union or non-union, deserve the right to have the standard of living we know today, a living wage, pension and affordable health care insurance coverage for their families.

As Union members we must strive to maintain our union, treating each other as though they are our famliy members and never become a club that would ban or discriminate against anyone from joining a union.

Our Local provides craftworkers to contractors for all aspects of the 28 trades affiliated with our International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers

BAC members represent the best in the masonry industry, as well as the labor movement. They show up for work ready and able to produce work of the highest quality, and as Union members are committed to advancing our Union's causes and promoting the unionized masonry industry. These qualities have distinguished BAC from the rest for more than 140 years.
