Answer to Question 1

Union locals are the lowest level of the union structure. Union local officials are in charge of hiring halls, intervene when there are jurisdictional disputes, help settle grievances that union members have with their employers, and assist in negotiating union agreements. They are also responsible for informing employers about any violations of trade agreements.

Answer to Question 2

The union that has jurisdiction over construction job sites is the American Federal of Labor-Congress of International Organizations Building Trades Department.
