Volunteer Organizing Committees

A volunteer organizing committee, or VOC, is a group of members whose volunteer initiatives help the union reach common goals. VOCs operate through many of the 27 local unions around New England. Members wanting to become more active in their local towns and communities can do so through their local VOC.

VOC activities are typically group efforts but can also be individual in nature. VOC members follow building projects in their communities, support political candidates, and pitch in for charitable causes in surrounding communities. The possibilities are truly endless and are determined solely by the members of a VOC.

Show Your Union Pride!

As a member of the New England Regional Council of Carpenters, you are a part of one of the strongest, most dynamic labor organizations in the country. Building our organization successfully only happens when members get involved.

The Union Pride Program was designed to reward the hard work of members who are helping to make our union stronger. Every time members participate in union activities, they earn Pride Points with which they can buy products designed to demonstrate their union pride.

Members who have earned pride points are encouraged to redeem them for prizes. Members will be allowed to redeem a maximum of fifty points per year. Members must redeem points within two years from the date earned. NERCC will notify any member with points due to expire within ninety (90) days.

Members can view the Union Pride catalogue by clicking here. Members can redeem pride points by emailing UnionPride@nercc.org.
