Peter McGuire, a young carpenter who had organized carpenters in the St. Louis area, was elected General Secretary.
Under McGuire's leadership, The Brotherhood absorbed many rival unions and, as a condition in one of its mergers, added the word "United" to its name.
By 1890, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners was the largest trade union in America.
During the 1890s, the UBC played a major role in the struggle for an eight-hour workday.
The UBC was also instrumental in the establishment of Labor Day as a national holiday.

We represent one trade with many crafts.
Our members touch every aspect of a construction project; they're frequently first on the job and the last to leave.
Florida carpenters are in-demand for industrial, commercial, institutional and many other job sites, providing the skills and experiences that only union training can supply.
Starting with pre-project conferences to outline the scope of work, manpower needs, and scheduling issues, we keep lines of communication open throughout the life of the project.
