Welcome to the website of Carpenters' Local 347. This website has been established for a more modern way to communicate with its members and contractors. Also to provide basic information for people or groups who are interested in our services, or interested in becoming a member of our Local. For years Local 347 has answered to the call of our members, contractors, and our community.

Also it will provide a list of contacts and information useful to our members. For Contractors, our business is to supply the demand of skilled manpower.

The Carpenters' Bill of Rights and Responsibilities is simple, direct, and fair.
Our Bill of Rights says: Here's what we believe. Here's what we stand for. Here are the basic rights of every working carpenter–union and non-union.
But with rights come responsibilities–and no one knows that better than we do. We know that it is the responsibility of every carpenter to provide a good day's work and to produce a craftsman's product in return.

All working people have a right to:
• A good job with benefits
• A living wage that can support a family
• Security and dignity in work and retirement
• A safe and secure workplace
• Education and training to reach our full potential

With rights come responsibilities:
• Being productive, efficient workers
• Producing work of the highest quality—work that we stand behind
• Improving our communities
• Helping fellow workers achieve safety and security in the workplace
• Being active citizens and informed voters
