Hello Brothers and Sisters,

As you know, several of our brothers and sisters sustained a tough blow from Hurricane Ida. There is significant property damage, but thankfully no loss of life. We are doing everything we can to help them get back on their feet and we will be sharing information as soon, and as often, as we can. If you are a victim of the storm and need help, please contact your Local Union representative. Find that contact information here: http://centralsouthcarpenters.org/locals/

Before Hurricane Ida, my Labor Day message was to highlight our union’s history, the UBC’s role in founding Labor Day, and a request for you to remember the sacrifices of many within the Organization who fought before us. But since the hurricane, a different perspective and appreciation for what Labor Day truly means have emerged:

Top of mind for me is to especially remember and appreciate those who labored before us to secure humanitarian protections such as comprehensive healthcare coverage and well-funded pension plans.

I am also thankful for those who established a culture of dignity, loyalty, and respect within our brotherhood. That fueled our tradition of forming the deep relationships that we all share with our brothers and sisters – relationships that are sometimes a lifeline when a brother or sister is in crisis.

I know you will join me in supporting our brothers and sisters as they rebound from the storm. And while we are helping them, however we can, please take a moment in these next few days to remember this:

Labor Day is and always will be our day, regardless of current circumstances. We are the country’s elite workforce, we build strong, and we will overcome anything that gets in our way to emerge stronger, together.

God bless all of you this Labor Day.

Yours in Solidarity,
Jason Engels, CSCRC EST

Wage theft is a huge problem. Just since Monday, we've been contacted by 4 unrepresented carpenters that haven't been paid by their employers in two weeks or more. I've heard other reports of payroll checks bouncing this week. And each of these workers are only single workers on much larger crews. That's full paychecks missing, and doesn't include the hundreds of workers in the area that are facing wage theft in the form of unpaid overtime each week. The Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division has released new videos to help explain how they can help with this issue, and of course, you can reach out to us directly as these workers did this week and we're happy to help navigate the system.

The family of honorary member, former business agent, and training coordinator Charlie Gunnels sent in his jacket from the Centennial 34th General Convention from 1981!! Unfortunately he passed back in 2008, and they were going through some things of his. We’re proud to have it and plan to get it framed up and hung in the Hall.
