Strong Alone, Unstoppable Together is more than the MACRC’s registered trademark, it’s a guiding principle to who we are throughout our geographical area. As a result, we improve the lives of our membership, our communities and we attract employers who see the value of our skills and professionalism.
Being mindful to not disrupt the relationships forged in the St. Louis area and on the Double Black Diamond project in Central Illinois with McCarthy Building Companies, Inc, the Kansas City HUB Representatives have been diligent to work with local McCarthy leadership to guide work to signatory subcontractors. Unfortunately, our representatives met with resistance to them signing a local agreement, without undermining the provisions established in the area agreement.

As a testament to the craftsmanship we have as Union Carpenters, the resistance to McCarthy becoming signatory began to wear down. In late 2024, McCarthy relented to the unwavering position our area representatives have to upholding the CBA and we are excited to announce that McCarthy is now part of a select group of GC’s in Kansas City that are signatory with the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council and it’s membership.
This is made possible with the full support of MACRC leadership team and happens because our members specialize in safety, productivity and are career professionals in their chosen crafts under the umbrella of the Carpenters Union.
