Union carpenters and contractors operate at the highest levels of quality and training. contractors hire us because of the unparalleled work we provide. carpenters and contractors put skill and safety training as the number one priority.
I am a union carpenter, working as a millwright with Local 740. I joined a pre-apprenticeship program for women that brought me into the unionized trades back in 2005, and I’ve been doing what I love ever since. Thanks to union carpenters and contractors, I’ve had steady work for the past 18 years, I receive great wages and benefits, and I’ve been supported by my brothers and sisters in the union the whole way.
I feel incredibly grateful for my career with union carpenters and contractors and the life it’s afforded me. In addition to the life-changing pay and benefits I’ve received, the training, comradery, and diversity set the union apart as a great place to work. The vast resources of the union also bring opportunities for mentorship and community building. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the mentors and colleagues who have helped me along the way. Despite all the great things I have to say about my career, there have certainly been times I’ve felt discouraged. In my second year, there was a stretch of time when I wasn’t getting much work.
