Title: United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Local Union No. 132 (Washington, D.C.)

URL: http://www.carpenters132.org/

Description: Archived website of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (UBCJA) Local Union No. 132 (Washington, D.C.), the predominant local carpenters union in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. The consolidation of four local unions located in Washington, D.C.,--884, 190, 1651, and 1103--formed Local 132. The new union received its charter on October 25, 1905. Originally, Local 132 had its headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C., and met every Friday at the Typographical Temple. Members of Local 132 broke ground on a Carpenter's Hall in 1926. This building served as a home for the local union until 1981, when Local 132 moved its headquarters from downtown Washington, D.C., to Suitland, Maryland. Shortly thereafter, Local 132 moved to Forestville, Maryland. In 2008, the union again moved its offices to its present location in Upper Marlboro where it shares the building with the Mid-Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters (MARCC), the regional council associated with the UBCJA. Local 132 is one of 27 local unions affiliated with MARCC. The Carpenters Local #132 website includes information on its officers, events, contact information, and a photo album.
