Stewards Training Class in North Shore Last Saturday

On Saturday, BAC Local 23 President Danny Musacchio led a steward training class. Stewards have a critical role to ensure that every single Local 23 member is being treated with the dignity and respect they deserve while on the job. Nearly 30 people attended the training.

If you are on a job site that doesn’t yet have a steward, please reach out to your Field Rep and let them know. This is how we make our union better, by standing up together, making our voices heard and communicating.

On Saturday, President Danny Musacchio, Vice Chairperson Brian Collier, Field Rep for North Shore Mentor John Brassow, Tile Field Rep for Greater Cleveland Mike Soltis, Field Rep for Northeast Chapter Akron Tom Dieringer, Field Rep for North Shore Cleveland Joe Harrison, and Field Rep for North Shore Cleveland Nicole Ohmer, all were in attendance.

“I was so pleased to hear our union stewards commit to doing training like this quarterly. This is what grassroots organizing looks like, and this is what being part of a union is all about. Standing together, and building our movement and our union, brick by brick. We spend a great deal of time pounding out the specifics in our collective bargaining agreements, so it’s critically important that we ensure those conditions are met by employers and we do that by having on-site representation,” said BAC Local 23 President Danny Musacchio.

We will keep you updated as these trainings continue and as we add more stewards to stand with members at more and more job sites.

We are excited to announce the appointment of two new Field Reps, Matt Abril and Andrew Fernandez. Matt will be representing the Fremont/Mansfield region for the Northwest Chapter and Andrew will be representing Local 23 members in the Canton region for the Northeast Chapter.

Both Matt and Andrew are dedicated to our fight to provide the best benefits and wages for members and they are hitting the ground running. They both bring the experience and fight needed to do this job, and do it right. If you see Matt or Andrew out in the field, be sure to say hi and welcome them to the Local 23 family!
