Historical Note
First organized in 1881, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners is a trade union that represents various workers in the construction industry. Vermont's first local chapter was established in Burlington in 1901. Other chapters in Barre (481), Rutland (590), and White River Junction (2256) were also active in the 20th century. It appears that after financial struggles, the four locals merged into one statewide chapter in 1973 with the new designation Local 1487. Some links to other northern New England chapters (in Maine and New Hampshire) are evident.
