Union Carpenters Amass Massive Crowds At Labor Day Parades

/ Council News

Across the Regional Council, members and their families marched in Labor Day parades over the holiday our founding members worked so hard to guarantee for all working people in the USA.

A large group of people wearing bright yellow shirts march in a parade, holding a blue banner and American flag. Spectators line the street and a mural of a woman's face is visible on a building in the background.

We amassed huge crowds at Labor Day events. Our members attended parades in six cities including: Rockford, IL; Schaumburg, IL; Chicago, IL; Belleville, IL; Desloge, MO; Jefferson City, MO.

It wasn’t just family members joining in with our members, elected officials also marched with us.
