DC16 represents professional finishers, including painters, drywall finishers, glaziers, floor coverers, specialty craft workers and many other careers in the construction and public sectors. The union is committed to fighting for the best interests of its members through collective bargaining, safety and training programs, legislative representation, and community partnerships.
