Thank you for encouraging the next generation of carpenters to kickstart their careers. #MidAmCarpenters #UnionProud

Lots of progress being made on this new home community thanks to our crew from Courtway Construction. McBride Homes is having no problem filling up St. Andrews Meadows in Union, MO with some spectacular views just outside St. Louis.

MACRC President Joel Pogose joined the Workers Mic on WGN to share a story about how union benefits helped save his son’s life and kept his family out of bankruptcy.

Congratulations to Scott Laurent (Local 97) on receiving his U.S. citizenship. The South African native relocated to St. Louis, where his wife attends Washington University. He says now being an official American citizen feels “liberating!”

About 400 Chicago Public Schools students came out to our Chicago Training Center on Wednesday to attend a hands-on skilled trades event where they learned how to set forms, cut tile, hang drywall and other crafts of our trade. The event - a partnership with CPS, city agencies, City Colleges of Chicago, labor unions and contractors - exposed students from all over the area to the pathways to the middle class that exist in the skilled trades. Thanks to all our Instructors and Representatives who helped fill in to provide these students with expert training and instruction. And thanks to the students who expressed interest in becoming carpenters. We hope to see you join our ranks some day! #unionstrong #WebuildCareers

Not much Irish luck on the weather, but the Carpenters Union is still a sea of green at annual St. Patrick's Day festivities on Chicago's south and northwest sides, in Kansas City and elsewhere. The beloved Union Hammer float made its long-awaited return to the marching lines in Chicago's Irish Southside Parade. You don't have to hail from the Emerald Isle to enjoy a good time, march in a parade and show off your union pride! Thank you to all our families for participating. Happy St. Patrick's Day!?? #StPatricksDay2025 #MidAmCarpenters #UnionProud

We had a great turn out at #Local790's steward class held at the Rockford campus recently. We always encourage our members to become more involved with their Union and are proud of these Brothers for taking the next step! #UnionProud #MidAmCarpenters
