Progress through Partnership

One of the greatest assets available to the construction industry in New England is the partnership between the New England Regional Council of Carpenters and union signatory contractors.

The New England Carpenters Labor Management Program joins skilled and dedicated crafts workers with experience, business-oriented contractors and project owners. More than 1,500 construction companies have already chosen to do business with the Carpenters union.

Working together, the union and signatory contractors have been able to develop comprehensive and affordable health and retirement plans. These plans provide for a more secure future for workers and their families, resulting in greater stability and productivity on the job.

The union has modernized policies in the interest of keeping schedules and budgets, including the ability for second shifts, off shifts, and extend work hours. Years ago, union rules restricted carpenters from traveling beyond their local jurisdiction. Today, contractors can take their seasoned crew with them on projects throughout New England.
