The International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) is a labor union representing skilled craftworkers in the trowel trades, including bricklayers, masons, tile setters, terrazzo workers, and other allied construction professionals. Founded in 1865, the union advocates for fair wages, safe working conditions, quality training, and strong labor standards across the construction industry in the United States and Canada.
BAC typically supports legislation related to prevailing wage laws, project labor agreements, workplace safety standards, apprenticeship and workforce development programs, collective bargaining rights, infrastructure investment, and pro-union labor policies.
The organization is primarily funded through membership dues and related union assessments.
Affiliated with the AFL-CIO and various regional and local building trades councils; works closely with signatory contractors and apprenticeship training centers.
