Sept. 8, 2025

In Step. In Solidarity.

We truly appreciate the massive crowd of MACRC members and their families who assembled this weekend for the Chicago Labor Day Parade in Pullman. We were blessed with beautiful weather as we joined our fellow brothers and sisters in the labor movement to celebrate working families and union solidarity.

- Add-On -

Union Carpenters in Kansas City are building this 7,750-square-foot addition for Friendship Baptist Church. The wood frame extension is being built by BAM Contracting. When opened later this year, the Emanuel Lisk Center for Youth Development will serve as an education space for area kids and include an additional 125-seat chapel.

- Trusted Skill -

In De Soto, MO we’re building the state transportation department this new storage barn. Boyer Building and Design is the contractor for all the concrete, framing and metal siding. On private and public jobs, Union Carpenters are the trusted workers of choice.

- Millwright Craft -

Advancing progress, one project at a time! Local 1693 Millwrights are spearheading growth and innovation at a big box distribution center in Morris, IL. Keep up the efforts brothers!

- Office Work -

A new law office buildout is underway halfway up the 155 Wacker Building in the heart of downtown Chicago's financial district. The tenants will enjoy beautiful city views in their even better looking office space!

- Mental Health -

This is a week set aside to talk about the higher-than-average number of suicides in the construction industry. We all know the stats and the contributing factors. Don’t let yourself, or your union brothers and sisters, suffer in silence. Click Here>>
