Local 72 Cement Masons & Plasterers
You get what you pay for.
Our Cement Masons & Plasterers work under Collective Bargaining Agreements that give our Contractors the ability to negotiate work standards, training, wages and benefits. The value you receive for the higher wage rate is the peace of mind of the work getting done the right way the first time.
A key benefit is having skilled labor on demand. We pride ourselves on providing a diverse group of Journey Level and apprentice workers. We continually promote our members to advance their skills with free training classes to keep their skill set the highest in the industry. Highly structured curriculum assures that every Apprentice is trained in every aspect of the trade.
Over a million dollars is spent on training each year, ensuring a serious commitment to the future of our industry and its workforce. Safety Training is a key element in everything we do. OSHA 10, 30, Confined Space Entry, First Aid, Contact Dermatitis, Silica and Hazard Communication are some of the courses required to help reduce injuries, keep the workforce safe and keep our employers’ rates down.
The Benefits of Partnership
A Contractor’s job is tough enough bidding projects and coordinating meetings. We can help take the frustration out of making sure your employees are covered with the right benefits. We have top of the line Health & Welfare plans that will give you & your employees peace of mind. Our pension plan is no hassle and will let your employees retire in dignity. Both of these plans are overseen by both Union and Employer Trustees. I also would like to mention that all of these benefits are tax exempt so you do not pay payroll taxes on this portion of the rate which could save you thousands annually.
Contact us.
We will get back to you and look forward to hearing from you.
