We represent more than 25,000 skilled carpenters, millwrights, dockbuilders, timbermen, cabinetmakers, and floorcoverers building the future of organized labor. Above all else, the District Council is dedicated to guarantee that every worker in our represented trades has rights in the workplace, a fair wage, a healthy family and hope for the future. The construction industry is prone to exploitative and dangerous conditions in the workplace; our efforts are to eliminate those tendencies through strong advocacy and direct action.
