NYC and Vicinity District Council of Carpenters Review

Will camp out no matter what the weather looks like

My grandfather was a union carpenter for 45 years and always said "if it wasn't for the union he would have no pension, no nothing"
My father was a member of L.U. 608 for 35 years and retired in 1993. He loved being a carpenter. He couldn't figure out how anyone would work without a union. I have been in the union since 1982. It's not easy work but with the ITC and continuous improvement in training and certification it's always looking to the future.The training you get is the best, there is no where else young people can get this sort of education. This is the training that's gets you through life, you learn a little about every part of the construction trade. This is the type of job that makes a house affordable, education for the children possible and a good pension in your senior years something to look towards after years of hard work. With the Union anything is possible.

Proud to be part of a great union. Just stay away from Charles Sanders !!! He is not one of us.. I think he hates white people. He did nothing but hurt me . His job is to help the members.. He he ha ha!!! Big joke to hurt me , a 31 year member. I'm not laughing!!!

Dont' work for Kelly shes a racist very mean towards latinos

I went there as directed, walked from the javits center, to sign up for out of state union worker. Got turned away, was told to come back another day for that. I flew home the next day. This whole ordeal snowballed out of control, being verbally attacked for not signing up, it took 3 months to get signed up. Chicago would never turn a fellow brother away, then chastise him for not coming in. Any time a person has to endure unprovoked attitude it takes a special kind of strength not to give it right back. Thankyou gor working with my B.A. to resolve this unessesary issue.

Take it from someone who completed an apprentice and advanced to journeyman. Don't waste your time with these scumbags

Sir you can ask me to update you in google listing and here you are 5 star business sir

Please do not work for kelly, there s not much diversity in the office as reference to the Latino remark, but race is not the problem, the lack of communication, the structure, and the inappropriate comments on performance without giving a temp its chance to perform before removing someone from the position. I believe regardless professionalism should be delivered especially due to the position given to her. I think kelly needs to reassess her tactics of management due to her making reference to miserable people when she needs to be compassionate of them wanting to make a career and be part contributing to the community.

The New York City District Council of Carpenters has dedicated the last 100 years supporting working trades members.. it's been a leading part of helping create the middle class in the tri-state area... congratulations to everyone who played their part over the years to Help The Working Man and his family succeed.. Nothing comes easy it takes hard work... best wishes to all the members and leadership for the next 100 years....Mike power 28 year member. ...

I was always respected for my speed, skills, having my own transportation and tools. FINALLY...since joining the union; now I get respectable pay and benefits to compliment it all. Thank you!
