Trade Ethics

An integral part of the apprenticeship program aims to instill in all apprentices a set of trade ethics that bring credit to the profession,  the union and the signatory contractors. Apprentices are expected to behave in a professional manner and exhibit the following:

  1. Craft Excellence -Pride in our craft leads to the successful completion of a given job.
  1. Cooperation -Cooperation with co-workers is essential. The lack of cooperation shows insufficient interest towards the final objective. A sincere interest in learning the work paves the way to final success.
  1. Punctuality - Punctuality is a "must" for all apprentices as well as other employees. Your employer, at a minimum, demands that you be there, on time and ready to work. Anything less than that will mark you as irresponsible.
  1. Loyalty - Loyalty to one's co-workers and to the employer will prove to be in everyone's interests and is important if an individual hopes to be successful as an apprentice and later as a journeyman. An employer with disloyal employees will be out of business within a short period of time.
  1. Honesty - Honesty in all dealings with co-workers, and with employers, regarding the performance of quality and quantity of work is essential.
  1. Attention - Attention when instructions are given will avoid many errors. The employer has a reason for the instructions he is giving and the employee should pay particular attention to those instructions.
  1. Diligence - Attention and care are expected in the performance of all assignments and will result in a job well done.
  1. Proficiency - The CTC training is designed to give the apprentice an opportunity to work on hands-on projects, in addition to making the apprentice accountable for his/her own work. Proficiency requires careful application, continuous study and perseverance.
  1. Productivity - As a union carpenter, you must be able to demonstrate competence; that you are a better trained and a more skillful worker than workers in the non-union sector. You must be able to work smarter and out-produce your non-union competition.
