Our training centers are equipped with the latest tools and equipment, and our instructors are experienced professionals who are dedicated to helping our members learn and grow.

In addition to training, UBC also provides its members with collective bargaining agreements that ensure fair wages, regular raises, and benefits such as health insurance, pension plans, and paid time off. We work with signatory contractors to promote high-quality workmanship, safe working conditions, and a fair and equitable bidding process.

UBC is also committed to promoting worker wellness and mental health. We offer a range of resources and programs to help our members maintain their physical and mental health, including a Worker Wellness Program, mental health resources, and a Be More Than A Bystander activism campaign.

For prospective members, UBC offers a clear path to becoming a union carpenter. We provide information and resources to help individuals start their careers in the construction industry, including job boards, dispatch systems, and upgrade classes for journey-level workers. We also offer scholarships, career connections, and training programs to help our members earn degrees and advance in their careers.

UBC works closely with a range of partners and committees to promote the interests of our members and the construction industry as a whole. Our partners include signatory contractors, apprenticeship committees, and other organizations that share our commitment to excellence and fairness in the construction industry.

Through our committees, we engage with our members and the broader community to promote issues such as veterans and military members, sisters in the brotherhood, retirees, and carpinteros.
