This site indexes them and links every determination to its official document - the determination incorporated into a contract governs.

This page collects every classification in Indiana's active federal determinations that is a form of carpenter work (rough and finish carpentry, including form work) and shows the rate published for it. Determinations name a classification the way the underlying union agreement or wage survey named it, so the wording varies between them; the rate and the fringe are reproduced exactly as published.
