A Carpenter is a skilled tradesperson who works with wood and other materials to construct, install, and repair structures and fixtures. Carpenters are involved in various stages of construction, from framing buildings to installing finish work. They read blueprints and measure materials to ensure precise cuts and fits. Using a wide range of hand and power tools, carpenters cut, shape, and assemble wooden structures such as wall frames, roof trusses, and floor joists. They also install doors, windows, trim, and cabinetry. In commercial settings, carpenters may build concrete forms, erect scaffolding, or install drywall. Their work often extends to remodeling projects, where they might remove or modify existing structures. Carpenters need to have a good understanding of mathematics, strong problem-solving skills, and physical stamina. Their versatility makes them essential in both residential and commercial construction projects.
The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) is one of the largest and oldest trade unions in North America, founded in 1881. It represents skilled workers in various aspects of the construction industry and related fields. UBC members perform a wide range of tasks crucial to building construction and maintenance. Traditional carpentry work includes framing structures, installing drywall, building and installing cabinetry, and finishing interior woodwork. Carpenters also work on large-scale projects like bridge building, constructing concrete forms, and erecting scaffolding. The union's scope extends beyond typical carpentry. Members work as millwrights, installing and maintaining industrial machinery and equipment. Floor layers install various types of flooring materials. Pile drivers specialize in driving piles for foundations in marine construction. Additionally, UBC represents workers in areas such as cabinet making, exhibit building, and even shipbuilding. The UBC places a strong emphasis on training and apprenticeship programs, ensuring its members are skilled in both traditional techniques and modern technologies used in construction. The union advocates for fair wages, workplace safety, and comprehensive benefits for its diverse membership across the United States and Canada.
