SHAME ON THE CARPENTER’S UNION LEADERSHIP!

The Carpenter's Union (UBC) has targeted the Roofer’s & Waterproofer’s Union and other union trades in an attempt to destabilize and bypass the jurisdiction of not just our industry, but other unionized construction trades as well, to raid our Pension Funds.

If you are on a jobsite and any RAT Carpenter Agent approaches you or anyone in your crew about monopolizing the Roofer’s & Waterproofer’s Union, PLEASE NOTIFY THE UNION IMMEDIATELY at 313-961-6093! Tell the RAT Carpenter to go out and organize the carpentry market that is currently unrepresented.

We stand in solidarity with all sincere Trade Unions and with the Rank and File members of the Carpenters Union, who should openly condemn these heinous actions by their leadership in their name.

REGULAR MEMBERSHIP MEETING

The regular membership meeting is scheduled for

   Tues, Dec. 7, 2021 at 7:00 p.m.


The regular membership meeting will be broadcasting live on “Detroit Roofers - Radio Active” channel 88.5 on your FM dial. You must be within one mile of the Union Hall to hear the radio station. Providing that the weather is fine, we will have the regular membership meeting outside in the parking lot.
