IKRCC Local 133

Welcome to Carpenters Local 133

Our Carpenters are responsible, at least in part, for many numerous projects in our community. Homes, schools, malls and office buildings are built from scratch through the skills and experience of professional carpenters. Carpentry is one of the oldest and most respected trades in the world. If you enjoy working with tools, if you like to see your work produce immediate results, and if you have a good work ethic, you can build a rewarding career as a Union Carpenter.

What types of jobs do Carpenters do?

Carpenters measure, saw, level and nail woods and other building materials. They install tile and insulation, acoustical ceilings, cabinets, siding, and much more. They work with many tools and materials to build houses, schools, churches and hotels. They erect skyscrapers, hospitals, office buildings, and prisons, and construct bridges, tunnels and highways. Carpenters make up the largest single group of skilled workers in the country.

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America believes that nothing should be taken for granted in today’s construction industry. Attention must be given to evolving technology and stricter building code

specifications. To accomplish that, the UBC dedicates more than $100 million every year to train it’s members. Indiana-Kentucky Carpenters benefit from this support, and train at one of nine training centers in the region. Each center is staffed by veteran master craftsmen who themselves are trained in the newest techniques of teaching a trade-based curriculum. These professionals also provide customized training – at the actual job site – if that’s what it takes to keep our members properly trained for your job.
