Since its founding in 1865, the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) has actively fought to improve our members’ quality of life – on and off the job – through access to fair wages, good benefits, safe working conditions, and solidarity among members. Today, BAC represents the most highly skilled trowel trades craftworkers across the United States and Canada including bricklayers, stone and marble masons, cement masons, plasterers, tilesetters, terrazzo and mosaic workers, and pointers/cleaners/caulkers. With over a century and a half of protecting the rights of our workers, BAC is the oldest continuous union in North America.

BAC law clerks play an important role in the Legal Department.  They primarily engage in legal research and writing, with a mix of short-term and long-term projects.  The work will focus on legal aspects of internal union administration; numerous federal labor, civil rights and related statutes; and assistance with developing and implementing union policy initiatives.  Specific projects may include review and analysis of affiliate Constitutions, drafting of Orders related to member charges and appeals, and other tasks as assigned.

Excellent analytical and writing skills and commitment to the labor movement are required.  Must be enrolled in an accredited law school.  Second- and third-year students who have competed at least one course in labor law are preferred, but first-year students with a strong background will be considered. 

Priority will be given to students who are able to work part-time during the spring and commit to full-time work during the summer semester. 

Law clerks earn $28.4361 per hour and the position is covered by a collective bargaining agreement with OPEIU Local 2.

Interested applicants should send resume, cover letter, law school transcript, and writing sample to Associate General Counsel Clark Taylor at ctaylor@bacweb.org.

BAC is a proud equal opportunity employer.
