With rights come responsibilities.
  As a member of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, it is your obligation to:
   
  • Be a productive and efficient worker.
   
    • Produce the highest-quality work possible - work we all can  be proud of.
   
    • Report to the job site steward or foreman your first day on the job.
   
    • Arrive at work on time and work all hours asked of you.
   
    • Call in to the job site if you must be late or absent.
   
    • Look presentable and act professional on the job site.
   
    • Adhere to the contractor's rules and regulations on the job;  the contractor is your employer.
   
    • Own and have with you the tools required (a list is included in your book of bylaws).
   
    • Respect your fellow workers and help them achieve a safe, secure workplace.
   
    • Complete apprentice or journeyman skill-upgrade classes to develop and keep your skills at the
    highest level of craftsmanship.
   
    • Sign the out-of-work list if you are laid off, and make sure  your telephone number and address
    are kept up to date.  The union hall cannot contact you for work if your address and phone
    number aren't current.
   
    • Hold your union in the highest regard; do not air grievances or gripes on job sites.
