Mike Fina sits down with Jack Argila, President of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local 1 NY, to share the incredible story of a union leader who’s spent over 40 years strengthening the trades. Jack walks us through his journey, from working on homes as a kid to overseeing major restorations like St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the Brooklyn Bridge.
In this inspiring sit-down, Vincent shares how he entered the trades as a 40-year-old apprentice and worked his way up through passion, purpose, and persistence. Now, he’s giving back — leading workforce development efforts, building pathways from high school to union careers, and fighting to ensure the next generation of laborers are trained, supported, and ready to lead.
