- A Few Poignant Words on Safety - | |
In this holiday season of celebration and giving thanks, we offer some thoughtful words on the responsibility we all share in looking out for our union brothers and sisters. | |
Recently, Union Carpenters installed refurbished bronze doors at the Missouri State Capitol. These massive doors had to be carefully flown into place with a crane and then set perfectly. No easy feat! Good thing our highly skilled members are perfect for any job that intricate. Great job, brothers! | |
The largest and most technologically advanced rehearsal and production complex in the music and entertainment industries, located in St. Louis, is proudly built by Union Carpenters. This cutting-edge facility features three separate state-of-the-art studio spaces dedicated to the development of stadium-sized live music tours, motion picture and television productions, and corporate events. | |
Employees at this Enterprise Bank building in St. Louis will soon enjoy a stunning remodel thanks to Union Carpenters. Our members from TJ Wies Contracting are hard at work and racking up man-hours refurbishing three floors of Class A office space in the heart of the Clayton business district. | |
The MACRC had a great time at Simeon Academy on Chicago's southside for an event in conjunction with National Apprenticeship Week. Reps and members from Locals 1, 10, and 54 addressed a group of building trade students about their future in the construction industry and explained the benefits of union membership. The response was amazing! | |

Congratulations to our recent scholarship recipients. We’re excited to see what the future holds for these young people!
