Member Engagement Program

Uniting Members
In Our Union

The Member Engagement Program was launched by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBC) in 2025 and marks a significant evolution of traditional member committees. This initiative brings all member engagement efforts together under a single, unified framework.

By bringing together our most active and committed members, we aim to:
  • Expand union membership and increase market share;
  • Protect good jobs, fair wages, and strong benefits;
  • Strengthen member connection, retention, mentorship, and growth;
  • Build greater collective power and organizing capacity;
  • Create more opportunities for community and political involvement; and
  • Remove barriers to member participation.

Sisters in the Brotherhood (SIB) advocate for more involvement from Sisters in all levels of union leadership and activities because when women work, we all benefit.

SIB supports female members by providing assistance in obtaining craft training and leadership skills; by being advocates on women issues; and by mentoring new members and even potential members.

Women are in every area of the trade and the District Council: as shop stewards, superintendents and lead instructors; on the staff of the District Council and locals; and, of course, on job sites—as carpenters on all kinds of projects, millwrights fine-tuning turbines, pile drivers, floorcoverers, and industrial workers.

The Sisters in the Brotherhood’s mission is to create a network of active Sisters who will promote the values of leadership, strength, and unity within the labor movement. Our valuable mentoring network provides our Sisters with the tools to be confident and successful in the highly competitive construction industry.

Bringing Together the Latino Brotherhood of the NYCDCC

The New York City District Council of Carpenters Latino Club provides support and valuable information for members and visitors. We support our union and the organized labor movement, while engaging with communities as union carpenters in the New York Metropolitan area.

Carpenters are often underrepresented and exploited by nonunion contractors who falsely claim that the UBC does not welcome Latino Carpenters.

We urge unorganized carpenters to join the New York City District Council of Carpenters. All are welcome!
