Southeastern Carpenters

What Southeastern Carpenters does

The Southeastern Carpenters organization operates as the Southern Regional Council of Carpenters (SRCC), a regional building trades labor union formed in October 2025 through the merger of three regional councils (Central South, Florida, and Southeastern Carpenters Regional Councils) within the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBC) Southern District. It represents carpenters, millwrights, and pile drivers across 11 Southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas), with 132 delegates and a network of local union halls serving as the operational backbone.

Core products include free registered apprenticeship programs in carpentry and millwright trades, ongoing journey-level skills training delivered through 27 training centers operated by the Southern District Training Trust Fund (SDTTF), skills combines and hiring events for direct job placement, the Military Veterans Program (MVP) for transitioning service members, and comprehensive health, pension, and retirement benefits administration through merged UBC benefit funds. Specialized add-on training covers interior systems carpentry, scaffolding (including PERI UP), and emerging solar/infrastructure skills.

Revenue is generated through recurring union membership dues paid by journeymen and apprentices, plus employer contributions to pension, health, and training trust funds under collective bargaining agreements with signatory contractors. Distribution occurs via direct dispatch from local union halls to signatory contractors and through project labor agreements on major construction projects across the region. Customer segments span two sides: (1) construction employers and contractors needing skilled workforce (including end-users like First Solar, NASA, Toyota, Georgia Power, AWS, and United Airlines executing through signatory contractors), and (2) workers and apprentices seeking free training, fair wages, benefits, and career advancement in the trades.
