From Dave’s Desk:


The last few months have been hectic with negotiations for Brick and Terrazzo. The Bricklayer Agreement has been settled except terms for the Fresno counties that need to be finalized. The Terrazzo Mechanic and Finisher Agreement is complete. Brick and Terrazzo Agreements will be printed in booklet form and mailed to members.


I believe that everyone enjoyed the day at BAC 3’s 8th Annual Picnic that was held at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo on Saturday, July 26th. It is the chance to visit with BAC members and their families in a relaxed setting that always makes the picnic a success.


Following is a contact list of your Union Representatives. They are doing a great job of representing All BAC trades in the large areas that they cover. Field Representatives do occasionally overlap their territories and Trade specific questions may be referred to the proper Representative.


Work Safe and Honor all Pickets, Dave Jackson
