What bricklayers & allied craftworkers local 3 new york does

BAC Local 3 New York is a chartered local labor union of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (IUBAC) representing skilled masonry craftworkers across upstate New York. Headquartered in Rochester with additional chapters and Taft-Hartley fund offices in Buffalo and Ithaca, the local delivers collective bargaining representation, apprenticeship and continuing education (including ACI and OSHA certification), member benefit funds, and the Member Assistance Program (MAP), a confidential substance-use and mental-health support line at 1-833-MAP-TALK.

The organization's core product surface is union membership itself — a service relationship that bundles fair-wage collective bargaining, health and pension benefits via the Rochester, Buffalo, and Ithaca Funds, structured craft-skills training through the Apprentice Training Program and the International Masonry Institute (IMI), veterans transition support via Helmets to Hardhats, and member-facing safety and wellness resources. Distribution runs through three physical chapter locations, a website-based join funnel, the IUBAC Member Portal for dues and member services, and contractor workforce agreements that place unionized craftworkers on masonry projects. Outreach is supported by an organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube, plus member-facing publications such as The Craftworker newsletter.

BAC Local 3 is a non-profit membership organization under the IUBAC umbrella; specific membership counts, dues levels, and annual revenue are not publicly disclosed. Recent strategic activity has centered on regulatory advocacy (alignment with NYC's $7B PLA expansion, defense of the federal Job Corps program), apprentice and women's leadership development, and expansion of the MAP wellness benefit line. The organization does not operate a technology platform, does not employ AI/ML capabilities, and is not structured as a venture- or private-equity-backable entity.
