Contractors

Our signatory contractors have access to the most qualified and highly trained Interior Systems Carpenters in the region. 

It is a statistical fact that a union worker is a safer worker. The reason for this is that a unionized work force is better trained, higher skilled and held to a higher standard. Not only does this offer the moral and ethical rewards of knowing your employees are going home to their families each night, but it has the added bonus of being better for your bottom line. 

We offer flexibility

Local 2041 has over 900 qualified Interior Systems Apprentices and Carpenters at your disposal. You can hire an employee for a week or a decade, depending on the needs of your project. We ensure you receive a highly skilled, safe working and qualified worker. 

Training

As part of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBC), training is our priority. Our members receive the most up to date health and safety training. You can rest assured that when you hire one of our members, they will have the skills and experience to get the job done on time and on budget.

Myths and Realities

Myth: There are huge fees to join the union.
Reality: There is no fee to join the Union as a contractor.

Myth: You sign with the union and your shop and all your work goes union with the building trades.
Reality: The agreement between the carpenters’ union and your company is only between you and the UBC for carpenters and carpenters’ apprentices.

Myth: The Union will go on strike once you join.
Reality: The Union has a stable and great relationship with the employers- strike free for over 30 years.

Myth: The benefits are costly.
Reality: The benefits in most cases can cost less. With a larger group plan that is pooled, you get the breaks of a larger plan, unlike smaller plans and the cost of self-insuring.
