| More than 650 contractors and sub-contractors actively hire and report on union carpenters in the Western Washington region. Employers provide union carpenters with an hour wage and also contribute to the fringe benefit package negotiated by the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters and employer representatives. The fringe benefits include a health and security plan, two pension plans, and a vacation plan. Hourly contributions are also made for the apprenticeship and training trust that serves Washington and Idaho.
If you have questions about fringe benefit contributions to Carpenters Trusts of Western Washington, please contact Employer Accounting at:
