Javonta Gatson of BAC Local 4 Indiana/Kentucky joined the union in April 2017 when his second daughter was just born. “I was struggling before joining the BAC. The union #apprenticeship program taught me tile setting skills, helping me pay my bills and made a down payment for my house - not to mention the pension and healthcare for me and my family,” Brother Gatson said. “The amount of BAC signatory contractors gave me opportunities to work on different jobs. I hope more high school graduates will consider trades jobs as their careers.” #blackhistorymonth2024 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #skilledtrades #union #buildingtrades #tilesetter #tilesetting #unionstrong #1u bac4inky baclocal4_lafayette tileapprenticelocal4
