Massachusetts Building Trades Unions came together to form the Recovery Council and highlight full-time staff and rank and file members in recovery who are willing and able to help their building trades brothers and sisters. Using the MBTRC site and contacting your local’s recovery point people, you’ll find how to best use your benefits, get help on your Recovery journey, and the support of your union peers when you return to work.
