Quality
Organized in 1953, Local 919 has represented and trained plasterers and cement masons for the purpose of protecting and promoting the quality of our industry and the livelihood of our members.
Skilled Hands and Time Management
These materials are as unforgiving as they are durable and beautiful. Skilled hands and competent time management must work together to achieve the desired result. We dedicate ourselves to the promotion of our craft.
Ageless Materials
Plaster and concrete are ageless building materials that will not fall out of favor as long as there is a sufficient amount of workers who are skilled in the arts of installation and finishing.
The Arts of Installation
Finishing concrete requires a keen attention to detail. By placing a wet mixture of concrete, members are tasked with producing a work of art. This could be a sidewalk, driveway, curb and gutter or a large slab for a building. Often these works are seen and used every day. Using their skills with a variety of finishing tools, their work must all be complete within a small window of time. Once finished, their product is set and hardens even more with time, leaving the finishers mark for decades or more.
