Records of a council composed of building trades unions working in and near Bremerton, Washington. Local building and construction councils coordinate the efforts of local unions that represent workers in the building and construction trades; lobby for policy impacting workers before the executive and legislative branches of state government; and deal with contractors, employer associations, project owners, and public bodies. The Executive Board sometimes acts on behalf of affiliate labor organizations in the legislative, regulatory, and judicial spheres in matters relating to wages, hours, working conditions, health and safety, regulation of work, and employment benefits.
