The Carpenters Industrial Council (CIC) is a construction industry organization formed in 2006 through the merger of four regional councils under the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Based in Portland, Oregon, the council operates across the United States with a focus on coordinating a unified membership program aimed at improving compensation benefits, safety, and work-related issues for its members. Its activities include maintaining organizational structure for representation and organizing non-union workers to gain workplace voice, spanning industries from forest products to millwork, cabinet making, trucking, health care, and office/clerical. The CIC's jurisdiction covers Locals and District Councils nationwide, and its primary function is to support workers in roles that maintain or produce essential goods and services within these sectors. A recent development involves ongoing efforts to expand member benefits and organize workers in targeted industries across its broad geographic scope.
