Bricklayers Bringing The Heat

Check out the photo below and share it with pride.

This is bricklayer ingenuity at our best.

BAC Local 23 bricklayers were already involved in a difficult, intricate restoration project at Cleveland Thermal when subzero temperatures – we’re talking 15 degrees with a windchill of -3 – hit the Cleveland area.

Our members kept their cool and figured out a way to keep the workplace warm.

Thanks to Bill Jenkins, a long-time foreman running the job for Renaissance Restoration who happens to have a keen interest in steam heat, BAC Local 23 bricklayers built a box around the work site and pumped in warm air from Cleveland Thermal.

“No matter what is thrown at us, our bricklayers get it done,” said Danny Musacchio, Local BAC 23 president. “Bill Jenkins and the crew made sure the job kept running through one of the worst patches of subzero temperatures we have witnessed in a long time.”

The BAC Local 23 Constitution Committee, composed of members from all 9 local chapters appointed by President Danny Musacchio by way of a vote of confidence at our November meetings, met on Friday, Jan. 17 in Columbus.

Over the course of more than four hours, the committee members listened to a legal presentation about the Constitution, discussed a range of issues regarding the subjects covered by the Constitution, and adopted procedures for moving forward.

The committee members agreed to convene again after the officer elections are completed in March.

Chapter nominations for the 9 BAC Local Chapters are wrapping up this week.

Tonight (Monday, January 20), the Tri-State Chapter and Central Ohio Chapter will meet, and tomorrow night the North Shore Chapter, Northeast Ohio Chapter, Southern West Virginia and Northern West Virginia Chapters are scheduled to hold nomination meetings.

Three chapters previously met: the Ohio Valley Chapter on Thursday, January 16, the Southwest Ohio Chapter on January 9 and the Northwest Ohio Chapter on January 7. The candidates nominated at those meetings had no opposition so they are all duly elected.

The elected positions are for three years with the terms beginning April 1.
