The Family Medical Leave Act provides eligible employees up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave a year whether you are unable to work because of your own serious health condition or because you need to care for a family member with a serious health condition.

Your request for FMLA leave must be for one of the following reasons:

• The birth of a son or daughter or the care of a newborn child,
• The placement of a son or daughter for adoption or foster care,
• To care for your spouse, son, daughter, or parent with a serious health condition,
• A serious health condition that makes you unable to do your job,
• Any urgent need from the fact that your spouse, son, daughter, or parent in the Armed Forces is on active duty or has been notified of an upcoming call to active duty.

Greater New York Laborers-Employers Cooperation and Education Trust (LECET)

Mason Tenders’ District Council PAC

The Mason Tenders’ District Council Political Action Committee (PAC) was formed on January 20, 1998. Construction may be the most highly regulated and among the most competitive industries in the New York metropolitan area. In order for us to keep our members working in good, safe, well-paying jobs, becoming involved in the political arena was an absolute necessity. In the ensuing years, your PAC has influenced government to approve literally tens of billions of dollars worth of unionized construction work throughout New York City and Long Island.

TENDERS INC

In 1999 the signatory contractors and local unions of the Mason Tenders District Council came together to establish Tenders Inc., a 501 (c) 3 charitable entity.  The stated mission of Tenders Inc is “to help those individuals and organizations in the communities where our members and employers live and work”.  And we have remained true to that mission. Over the past 20 years, Tenders Inc has donated over $1.2 million to dozens of worthy organizations, large and small.
