employment of apprentices. The Employer and Union agree that it is their practical responsibility, in an effort 

to better the industry, to promote the apprenticeship and training program.

a ratio of one (1} apprentice to each six (6) journeymen. lf an Employer is found lo be

for each day falling in this category. Payment for school day may in no instance be less than the established 

scale, but shall be the actual wage the Apprentice is currently receiving. Hours spent in related classroom 

instruction shall not be considered as hours of work for the purpose of computing overtime.

shall apply. Each employee shall be allowed to take a 20 minute coffee break near their work station during 

the first four (4) hour work period. If an employee is requested to work ten (10) hours or more, an additional 

10 minute coffee break shall be provided during the ninth hour of work time for all employees. During the

Assessment Funds can also be taxed 

Assuming that F.I.C.A. is $95.00 and withholding

subtract the amount of the two Special Assessment

The current underlying Agreement, which was set to expire on May 31, 2016, is hereby 

amended effective March 22, 2013. The terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement are 

contained herein, and include an extension of the underlying Agreement, which shall now expire 

on May 31, 2019. 

The geographic territory governed by this Agreement consists of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, 

Sanilac, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Monroe Counties and the Townships of Brighton, Deerfield, 

Genoa, Green Oaks, Hamburg, Hartland, Osceola, Putnam, Tyrone and Unadilla in Livingston 

County and all offshore areas adjacent thereto extending to the territorial boundary lines of the 

United States. 

WITNESS ETH: 

WHEREAS, it is the intent and purpose of the parties hereto to improve the relations between 

the Employer, his employees and the Union, and to establish an understanding relative to gross 

wages, hours of work, and all other conditions of employment so that the Employer, his 

employees and the Union may all profit from the fair and stable conditions in the industry which 

will result therefrom; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the 

Employer and the Union hereby agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

Exclusive Bargaining, Employment and General Terms and Conditions 

1. The Association signatory hereto recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive collective 

bargaining agent for a majority of all persons employed as Carpenters in the geographical area 

coming within the jurisdiction of the Union; and 

The Union recognizes the Association as the sole and exclusive collective bargaining agent for 

its members, the majority of contractors engaged in commercial, industrial, institutional and 

heavy construction work, for the purpose of collective bargaining in the geographical area 

coming within the jurisdiction of the Union. 

2. It is specifically agreed and understood that this Agreement exclusively governs the wages, 

terms, and conditions of employment of all Carpenters performing work of any description 

coming under the jurisdiction of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, 

employed by an Employer represented through the Association, the majority of contractors 

engaged in commercial, industrial, institutional and heavy construction work, regardless of 

whether such Employer is acting in the capacity of a prime or subcontractor. 

3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that they are subject to state and federal law and

the holiday may not change the workweek in accordance with this Paragraph. Notice must be 

given to the Union at least 5 work days before the first 4-10 day is worked. 

6. Travel. When an employee agrees to be sent out of the territorial jurisdiction of the Union by 

the Employer he shall receive all authorized expenses and either the scale or wages in the locality 

or in this Agreement. 

7. Coffee Break. Where all crafts employed on the job site agree, the following coffee break 

schedule shall apply. Each employee shall be allowed to take a 20-minute coffee break near 

their workstation during the first four ( 4) hour work period. If an employee is requested to work 

10 (ten) hours or more, an additional 10-minute coffee break shall be provided during the ninth 

hour of work time for all employees. During the time period of June 1st through August 31st, 

Carpenters working on outdoor projects only may be permitted a ten (I 0) minute coffee break 

near their work station during the first four ( 4) hour work period and once during the second four 

(4) hour work period. The specific times of all breaks shall be determined by the Employer and 

need not be at the same time for all employees. This Coffee Break schedule shall only apply to 

the Carpenters if all other crafts employed on the job site agree to this beverage break schedule. 

ARTICLE IX 

Wages and Fringe Benefit Contributions 

The gross wage shown in these schedules includes required payments for Wages, Insurance, 

Pension and Dues Assessment contributions. Failure to pay the Base Wage and the funded fringe 

benefit contributions when due is payment of less than the Gross Wage and shall constitute a 

status of delinquency and a violation of this Agreement. The Union shall withhold its members 

from Employers who are thus in violation: In the event any Employer is delinquent in the 

payment of Wages or his contributions to the Insurance, Pension, Apprenticeship, Dues 

Assessment or Labor-Management Productivity and Training Funds, the Union, after giving the 

Employer and the Association twenty-four (24) hours notice (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and 

Holidays) by certified mail or telegram, of such delinquency, shall have the right to take strike 

action against such Employer, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. 

1. The minimum rate of wages for Foremen, Journeymen, and Apprentice Carpenters shall be 

defined as follows: 

Zone 1 consists of Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair and Wayne Counties. Zone 2 consists of Sanilac and Washtenaw Counties, and in Livingston County the townships of 

Brighton, Deerfield, Genoa, Green Oak, Hamburg, Hartland, Osceola, Putnam, Tyrone and

the Employer twenty-four (24) hours notice (excluding Saturday, Sunday and Holidays) by certified mail,

WHEREAS, it is the intent and purpose of the parties 

hereto to improve the relations between the Employer, his 

employees and the Union, and to establish an understanding relative to gross wages, hours of work, and all other 

conditions of employment so that the Employer, his employees and the Union may all profit from the fair and stable 

conditions in the industry which will result therefrom;

written request. 

ARTICLE IV

2. If during the term of this Agreement, the Union has a 

collective bargaining agreement with any other employer engaged in construction work within the geographic jurisdiction of this Agreement as done by the employers that 

contains terms and conditions more favorable than those 

contained herein, the Union agrees that such more favorable terms or conditions shall automatically become a part 

of this Agreement replacing those herein which are less

Employer is delinquent in the payment of Wages or his 

contributions to the Insurance, Pension, Vacation and Holiday, Apprenticeship, Dues Assessment or Labor-Management Productivity and Training Funds, the Union, after giving the Employer and the Association
