Union Member Reviews
“A lot of good people and meeting new friends and building connections. Love my job!”
— Dylan Sparks
“When someone asks me why I became a bricklayer, it’s because I had 3 children getting close to college age and needed more money. After 25 years in this trade I still love it. Heck where else can you get paid to work out and get tan.”
— Lynne Yanarella
