It is the right of employees under Federal Law to join Unions. Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act reads in part: "Employees have the right to self-organization, to form, join or assist labor organizations to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection.

It is with these rights and with our belief that all workers should ban together to help each of them retain a decent wage, pension and health insurance for themselves and their families that we engage in helping carpenters to organize.

Carpenters both union and Non-Union often have a great deal in common; they live in the same neighborhoods and work in the same industry and share the same dreams and aspirations of owning a home, raising a family, sending their kids to college and improving their life.

It is with this in mind that we offer to all carpenters the opportunity to help themselves by contacting us and seeking our assistance to help them achieve these goals. If you are interested in learning more, contact the Organizing Department toll free at 1-888-346-2432 or 1-217-744-1831.
