Labor Day is more than a long weekend. It’s a time to recognize the working men and women whose hard work, sacrifice, and solidarity helped build the rights and opportunities workers enjoy today.

Today, we were proud to celebrate our members and their families at our Labor Day picnic. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a great day.

It was a chance to enjoy good food, spend time with friends and family, celebrate our brotherhood and sisterhood, and recognize the members who make our union strong every single day.

Congratulations to all of our raffle prize winners, and thank you to everyone who helped make today possible!

We celebrate labor today but we stand with and celebrate our members every day.

Happy Labor Day from Carpenters Local 205! 🔨🇺🇸

This Saturday marks 144 years since the first Labor Day parade. Led by Peter J. McGuire, workers marched down New York City streets in both a celebration of worker power and a demand for fair working conditions. That’s the legacy we carry today. ✊

Brothers and Sisters

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:

https://carpenters205.org/benefits

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.
