    Regional Carpenters, Lathers, Piledrivers and Millwrights Ratify New Contracts PR Newswire
    Carpenters, lathers, piledrivers and millwrights in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota have ratified new contracts ranging from one to five years in length.

    The Lakes and Plains Regional Council of Carpenters and Joiners which represents union carpenters, lathers, millwrights and floor coverers, made the announcement Friday regarding the new contracts.

    'We are very pleased that a long, yet productive, negotiation process has been successfully completed,' said Scott Malcolm, executive secretary/treasurer of the Regional Council. 'Increasing health care costs were of great concern to both the union and the contractors. This added pressure to the negotiations. In the end, a satisfactory solution was agreed upon. Contractors also committed $1 million per year to Apprenticeship and Journeyperson upgrade training."
