Three carpenters' locals merging By MICHELLE STARR, York Daily Record, PA
About 250 members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America Local 191 are saying goodbye to a long tradition in York County.
The local, chartered in 1886, has merged with local 492 in Reading and local 287 in Harrisburg to create a force of 1,400 members. The new local will be 214 — a designation arrived at by combining the first number of each of three old locals.
