Subject: Membership Monday: Local 1 Hits Milestone ... and RSVP for Women in Construction Week Celebration

Feb. 24, 2025 Milestone Wishing a happy 138th birthday to Carpenters Local 1. With rare distinction, Local 1 in Chicago is among the very first locals to have been formed by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and its charter is signed by Union founder Peter McGuire. Cheers to all of our Local 1 Brothers and Sisters! - Well Deserved - Congrats to MACRC Diversity Director Jonathan Jones, honored by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago last week during an event celebrating African Americans and Labor. Jonathan is recognized for his dedication to strengthening unions and helping provide opportunities to those from underserved communities in joining the labor movement and earning a pathway to the middle class. Great work Jonathan! #BlackHistoryMonth #UnionStrong - Unmatched - Check out this new video produced by our partners at the Southern Illinois Builders Association. Shout-out to our members of Locals 662 & 664 showing off the unmatched skill of Mid-America Carpenters and signatory contractors. No one is better trained and more prepared than our members! Video - On the Job - New housing is in big demand all over St. Louis. The Lagosian is bringing luxury townhomes to the city’s historic Lafayette Square neighborhood. This team with Drake Carpentry will have the 32 units move-in ready later this year. - Valued Partners - Kansas City area reps along with those from Kansas recently sat down with contractors at the Regional Council’s hall in Topeka to discuss how Union Carpenters can facilitate their construction projects large and small. After the meeting, we took contractors on a tour of our apprenticeship program. It's our strong partnerships with valued employers that sets Union Carpenters apart from the rest.
