Drywall Finishers

Work is slowly starting to pick up for the Drywall Finishers and should be in full swing by mid-March. If you are a current Drywall Finisher and out of work please make sure to get on the out-of-work list so you don’t lose out on an employment opportunity. If you know anyone, experienced or not, wanting to join the Drywall Finishers Union please have them stop by the hall or call 775-356-8567.

Flooring

We have some large projects scheduled to start late April early May. Two (2) Apartment complexes, a few schools, plus the hospitals, will all happen around the same time. Current Floor Coverers, if you are not working please make sure you are on the out-of-work list and again if you know anyone with or without experience encourage them to contact the hall for employment information.
