“When someone asks me why I became a bricklayer, it’s because I had 3 children getting close to college age and needed more money. After 25 years in this trade I still love it. Heck where else can you get paid to work out and get tan.” — Lynne Yanarella

“The union has affected my ability to provide for my family by higher wages and better benefits and most importantly, job security. If someone is considering joining a union but is hesitant, I can reassure them that the Union can negotiate with employers on behalf of their members to secure better pay, benefits, and working conditions.” — Orlen Escobar

“I joined the bricklayers because I was interested in learning the world’s oldest trade. If you’re willing to learn & work hard you can make great money, with great benefits, build stuff you can be proud to tell your children someday.” — Jeff Voacolo

“My favorite part about the Union is the training that is offered, which helps me to move up professionally.” — Darren Darby

“I joined the union because I saw that I could have better opportunities for progress for my family. At the end of the day, I am contributing to a dignified retirement. Thinking that as the head of the family, I can take my children forward makes me feel great, invincible.” — Betsy Bertrand

“I joined the union because I developed a passion for masonry and wanted to take it to the next level by being taught the trade by the best hands in the business. I was also able to “earn as I learned”. Everything I have I owe to my union.” — Mike Fasolo
