The far Southeast Side of Chicago has always had a strong connection to the labor movement, unions, and its values. At one point the region was the largest steel producer in the world, providing the iron and steel that helped build this City. Chicago’s Southeast Side is where the Chicago Labor Day Parade first began its journey

One of the most colorful parade in Chicago, the 26th Street Mexican Independence Parade celebrates Mexican Independence with floats, mariachi bands and dancing in the streets.

The Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters (“CRCC”) submits the following comments concerning the proposed amendment to 29 C.F.R. § 29 concerning Industry Recognized Apprenticeship Programs (“IRAP’s”).

The proposed rule states that the Department of Labor proposes to only recognize Standards Recognition Entities (“SRE’”) that seek to recognize Industry Programs in sectors without significant registered apprenticeship opportunities and that the Department expects to identify the construction industry as a sector where registered apprenticeship opportunities are already significant.

Anti-Union IRAP's threatens our apprentice programs and therefore theatens Union Carpenters pay, benefits and safety.
