Another win for women craftworkers! The International Masonry Training and Education Foundation has introduced a paid maternity disability benefit to support pregnant women craftworkers represented by @IUBAC. The benefit allows BAC craftworkers up to a total 26 weeks of disability benefit for weeks they are unable to work at the trade because of their pregnancy and after delivery. https://bit.ly/3HPVNcF
