History of The NERCC

In New England, we've gone from having several state and local councils consisting of Local Unions that acted independently to a single, regional council with 30 local unions all working together to achieve common goals.

In the last five years, we have almost doubled our organizing and servicing staff using a process that allows every member consideration for hiring and an open, unbiased and rigorous process for evaluating applicants. We've negotiated contracts that are good for carpenters, but also fair for contractors. We realize that if a union contractor cannot compete and be successful, neither can union carpenters.
