APRIL 9, 2012 -- It is with deep sadness that the Building and Construction Trades Department announces the sudden and untimely passing of its President, Mark H. Ayers, on April 8, 2012.

President Ayers was a labor leader of vision, innovation, passion and integrity, and it was through his leadership that North America's Building Trades Unions were on the path to success and increased market share for the union construction industry.

Although our hearts are heavy today, our spirits are lifted by virtue of the unsullied legacy of a working man who was grounded and guided to his core through the values that were instilled in him during his upbringing in Peoria, Illinois. Mark Ayers was a true trade unionist in every sense of the word, and it was through that commitment to bettering the lives of working families that he was able to offer so much to his country, his family, and to the labor movement.

Funeral arrangements will be announced in short order.

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 Training page to learn more about us and How to Join!
