Bricklayers
Organization
The International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftsmen Union
was formed on October 17, 1865, to promote the trade and to offer
formal training to its members to insure better craftsmanship.
Nature of Trade
Whether a Bricklayer works with brick, concrete blocks, structural
tile or other masonry materials, the work is essentially the same.
Bricklayers construct walls, partitions, fireplaces, chimneys and
other structures from brick. They also use other masonry materials,
such as concrete, cinder, or gypsum block; precast panels made of
brick, cement, tile, stone, marble, structural tile, to terra cotta.
They also install the brick linings of industrial kilns and furnaces.
Formal Training
Bricklayers complete an Apprenticeship program before becoming a
Journeyman. The term of apprenticeship is four years of continuous
employment in an approved schedule of work experience and at least
144 hours per year of related supplemental instruction, both in
bricklaying and welding.
