Welcome to 3,000 members, contractors from Iowa and Nebraska

The North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters welcomes 3,000 members from Iowa and Nebraska to its ranks. Under a regional restructuring of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, central and western Iowa and Nebraska have been merged into the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters.

This merger will create a 21,000 member-strong organization across six states. "We are very happy to welcome members from Iowa and Nebraska into our Council," said Regional Council Executive Secretary-Treasurer James E. Moore. "We look forward to working with them and serving them."

The members come to the Regional Council from five Local Unions, including Carpenters Local 106 in Des Moines, Iowa; Carpenters Local 948 in Sioux City, Iowa; Carpenters Local 444 in Omaha, Neb.; Carpenters Local 1055 in Lincoln, Neb.; and Millwrights Local 1463 in Omaha, Neb.

“Partnerships with union contractors in central and western Iowa and Nebraska will continue and be strengthened,” said Moore. “Our union is committed to ensuring that signatory contractors in all six states have the highest-skilled, productive and competitive workforce in the construction industry.”

We are the Carpenters Union

We will now represent union members and their families from 31 local unions in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Nebraska.

The North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters is chartered by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners – one of North America’s first unions, and still one of its most vibrant. The UBC represents more than half a million Cabinet Makers, Carpenters, Floor Coverers, Lathers, Millwrights and Pile Drivers in the United States and Canada.

Being in the Carpenters Union means power in unity and strength in numbers – both locally and across the nation.

As a union, we are dedicated to protecting and elevating the economic and social condition of all workers. We partner with contractors to provide our industry the best trained, most productive, safest workforce available. We provide real careers. The superior productivity and skills that our members bring to the job reward us with pay and benefits that allow us to provide a better life for ourselves, our families and our communities – now and in the future.

Union Carpenters:
Better Training.
Better Safety and Performance.
Better Lives for Ourselves, Our Families and Our Communities.
