From Baton Rouge to Ottawa Projects Fuel Much Needed Work Hours

In continuing their mission to make jobsite visits a priority when attending to BAC business across the U.S. and Canada, that mission brought members of the Executive Board to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to talk with members of Local 8 Southeast including bricklayers and cement masons who are performing fireproofing work for signatory refractory contractor J .T. Thorpe & Son, Inc., and to Ottawa, Ontario for a firsthand progress report from Local 7 Canada members who are restoring the West Block on Parliament Hill.
