Carpenters Local 205 has updated our member benefits page

This page is a great resource for members and their families who have questions about union fringe benefits, including medical, prescription, dental, vision, vacation benefits, benefit documents, common benefit terms, and Fund Office contact information

You can also watch a short video summary that walks through where to find information and how to better understand your benefits

Visit the updated page here:

Your wages are only one part of your total union compensation. Your fringe benefits are an important part of what we fight for, and we want every member to know where to find the information they need

Please share this with other Local 205 members and your family members who may help you manage benefit information

Welcome to the Brotherhood!

Last night, we had the honor of swearing in 24 new members into our Local Union. These brothers and sisters are now part of a proud tradition of skilled craftsmanship, solidarity, and standing together to build a better future for working families.

Joining the union means more than carrying a card. It means having a voice on the job, access to world class training, and the strength that comes from standing united with fellow tradespeople.

Please join us in congratulating our newest members as they begin the next chapter of their union journey. We look forward to seeing the impact they will make in our industry, our communities, and our Local.

Welcome to the Brotherhood and Sisterhood. We are stronger together.

I am ecstatic to have the backing of the Carpenters Union! Thanks to Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters and all those working to build our communities.

Today we celebrate the strength, skill, and solidarity of working people everywhere.

Carpenters Local 205 has been building more than structures. We’ve been building careers, families, and stronger communities for generations.

On this May Day, we honor the pride of our trade and the power of standing together.

Union strong. Union proud.
