MEMBERSHIP UNION PARTICIPATION

INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The success of our union depends on all members becoming visibly active in union job actions
and events. Our visible solidarity will send a strong message to public and private interests
that carpenters stand united in our efforts to obtain more work opportunities, protect our area
standards, and increase membership for our Brotherhood.

The objective of MUP is simple: to eliminate our non-union competition before they destroy our
memberships’ quality of life, our standard of living, and our blue collar, middle class prevailing
wages and benefit packages. However, fulfilling your MUP doesn’t have to be just checking
something off your to-do list.

MUPs are the chance for our members to get involved in real and fulfilling community service that
helps to strengthen our union's ties to our communities. Over the past year, members have shown their
union and civic pride by heading the call to help others by completing some amazing projects across
our region. These projects have shown truly what it means to be a citizen carpenter.

Because so many of our members have gone above an beyond to make the most out of their community
service, we've created the MUP Incentive Program to encourage and reward members who go beyond
the minimum requirements in volunteering MUP and organizing activities.

TIER I
Any member that participates in at least five (5) MUPs or more within a calendar year
will receive a gift in February of the following year.

Tier I gift for 2020 is a long sleeve Council Under Armor t-shirt.

TIER II
Any member that participates in at least ten (10) MUPs or more within a calendar year
will receive the Tier I gift and a Tier II gift.
Tier II gift for 2020 is a Council hard hat.

That’s not all. Members who have fulfilled ten (10) or more MUPs
will also have the ability to take part in a raffle that will draw five
$500 prizes as well as one grand prize, allowing the winner to be a
KML guest in August 2020 at the UBC General Convention with
expenses paid.
