The agreement specifies prevailing wage rates, fringe benefits including health insurance, pension contributions, and training fund allocations that contractors must provide to cement mason employees on eligible projects. The CBA outlines work rules, safety requirements, apprenticeship provisions, and grievance procedures applicable to union cement masons.
