BAC Local 23 Endorses Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate

Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) Local 23, representing 4500 highly skilled bricklayers, stone and marble masons, tilesetters, terrazzo and mosaic workers, and pointer/cleaners/caulkers, today endorsed Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate. With over a century of protecting the rights of workers, the BAC is the oldest continuous union in North America.

“No one has had a stronger record fighting for working people, unions and labor than Sherrod Brown. For decades, he has been a strong and consistent voice for workers in Ohio and across our country. We are proud to stand with Sherrod Brown and endorse him for the U.S. Senate. Working people, Ohio and our country need Sherrod Brown back in the U.S. Senate,” said Danny Musacchio, BAC Local 23 President.

“Sherrod’s critical vote in sponsoring and passing the Butch Lewis Act restored pensions for millions of Americans, including many members of BAC Local 23. Thanks to Sherrod Brown, many of our members have retired with the dignity and respect they earned. It’s acts of leadership and solidarity like this that makes endorsing Sherrod Brown for U.S. Senate an easy choice,” Musacchio said.

“BAC Local 23 has been building our towns and cities for more than a century – their bricklayers, stone and tile workers, and masons have left their mark in every corner of Ohio and across the region. This union knows how important it is to have a voice in the Senate fighting for Ohio workers, and I’m honored to have them with me in this campaign as we work to undo the damage coming out of Washington,” said Sherrod Brown, candidate for U.S. Senate.

Thank you to everyone who came out on Labor Day weekend to spend time with their Local 23 family. While we were there, we asked some of our members about why it’s “Better In A Union”.
