Welcome to BAC Local 7 Tile, Marble &
Terrazzo
The leadership and members of BAC Local 7, Tile,
Marble and Terrazzo, from New York and New Jersey would
like to welcome you to our website. Hopefully our web
site should enlighten you about who we are and what we
do for the middle class in the great states we represent
and work in.
As far back as the 1800s, North American masonry-trowel
trade’s workers protected
their wages and working conditions by forming unions and
associations. In 1823, for
example, journeymen stone cutters in New York City went
on strike in support of the
10-hour workday, and in 1835 masons in Troy, New York
went on strike for higher
wages.
The leadership and members of the BAC have always
supported the middle class by helping to establish the
8-hour work day, 5-day work week, implementing health
insurance and pensions for it’s members, negotiating
higher wages, teaching safety and related training,
supporting the family and medical leave act and
encouraging fair treatment for women, people of all
ethnic backgrounds, and those with disabilities.
At Local 7 we are always looking for the best and
brightest that our area has to offer. If you're
experienced journeymen, visit the
