CARPENTERS '
BILL OF RIGHTS
& RESPONSIBILITIES

Carpenters believe that every working man and woman has certain rights,
but we also realize that with rights come responsibilities—and we take both
seriously. Our Bill of Rights and Responsibilities tells the world what we
believe in, and what we are prepared to contribute.

All working people have the 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
