Bricklayers Local 6 Accepting Apprentice application

Bricklayers and stonemasons work in closely related trades producing attractive, durable surfaces and structures such as commercial, industrial and residential buildings. The work they perform varies in complexity, from laying a simple masonry walkway to installing the ornate exterior of a high-rise building. Bricklayers build walls, floors, partitions, fireplaces, chimneys, and other structures with brick, precast masonry panels, concrete block and other masonry materials. Some specialize in installing firebrick linings in industrial furnaces. Stonemasons build stone walls, as well as set stone exteriors and floors. They work with two types of stone – natural cut, such as marble, granite, and limestone and artificial stone made from concrete, marble chips or other masonry materials. Stonemasons usually work on structures such as houses, hotels and office buildings. Bricklayers and stonemasons combine a thorough knowledge of brick, concrete block, stone and marble with manual skill to erect very attractive yet highly durable structures. Allied craftsworkers also have jurisdiction in marble, tile and terrazzo. They perform PCC (pointing, cleaning and caulking) and historic masonry preservation.
