*** The Cement Masons & Plasterers have been awarded an ARRA Grant for “Green” training.  We need all of our members to be trained in the GREEN movement so we are ready when building resumes!  If we are ready, we will gain market share..........

     For starters, we need Cement Masons ($149,000 Grant) to sign up for: Polished Concrete Certification; Pervious Concrete Certification AND we need Plasterers ($116,000 Grant) to sign up for: AWCI Certification (EIFS) and American Clay (coming soon).  You owe it to yourself and the strength of the union.  If we don’t use this money, we will lose it.***
