Welcome...    


Local 926 UBCJA is the collective bargaining unit for 2000 Union Carpenters in Brooklyn, New York. Since January 2006 our Membership has been growing and our organizing has become stronger. Local 926's first Market Recovery Rate job has begun and is doing well. It will be the first of many Market Recovery jobs in Brooklyn.

Most residential work in Brooklyn has traditionally been Non-Union. With the help of the New Market Recovery Rate, the Local has been meeting with many big developers who are interested in doing this work with Union labor. Both parties agree that the Market Recovery Rate works! Local 926 has also signed over a dozen contracts at the Standard Contract Rate. These contractors will be working in many new areas of our industry.

Local 926 is one of the bright spots in organized labor and is poised for all the big development projects that are about to go forward in Brooklyn. The Local's representatives will continue their hard work to assure that ALL Members of the Union, no matter what local, what race or what gender will have a great chance of getting work with Union pay & benefits.

Local 926 is headed by Salvester Zarzana who has been their President and Business Manager for the past 15 years. Sal has received awards from CORE and the Brooklyn Independent Democrats, to name just a few.
