Bricklayer’s Language -

Where one of the foregoing holidays falls on Sunday, it shall be observed on the following Monday. If federal legislation establishes national observance of any of the foregoing holidays on a day other than the calendar day regularly observed
in the past or on a day which is substituted for such existing holiday, the nationally observed day shall be the holiday.
…BUT…
In weeks that have designated holidays that fall during the regular work week, but not more often than six (6) times per year, the Employer may schedule four (4) consecutive ten (10) hour work days at straight time. The Union and the
employees must be informed and the Union must give permission to the Employer in writing.
OSHA 10 hour Safety Training
Recently a Union Mason Contractor Member called looking for this training – we in the Chicagoland Area are very fortunate to have many resources in the event Union Trades People training is needed. Bricklayers www.bac2school.org , Laborer: www.chicagolaborers.org , and the Chicagoland Construction Safety Council – www.buildsafe.org
Sometimes we need more – they will all help but we need to make the class large enough to maximize
their efforts…. I have a contractor who needs to train 5 people. Anyone else need this training in our industry?
I can circle the wagons and get a teacher, and hopefully a classroom and get your people trained? Could use 10-12 more Union Tradespeople (“students”) that need this train let’s get a class…… any takers – call me Jim O’Connor at 847/ 824-0146
