As part of the unprecedented joint venture, the Carpenters will serve as the lead construction partner on Cooper’s expansion, working to help establish specific plans to ensure a hiring preference for Camden residents, overall workforce inclusion, hiring and recruitment for apprentice programs.
For the thousands of hardworking men and women who make up the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters, this new joint venture is more than a job – it’s an opportunity for us to show what we can do to make the community, our community, better and stronger and create real opportunity,” said William C. Sproule, the union’s Executive Secretary-Treasurer.
