MARCC and signatories
Partnerships create jobs

The Mid Atlantic Regional Council of Carpenters (MARCC) is partnering with contractors across the region to help the employers win bids for projects and to create jobs for union members.

With union members as employees, contractors can guarantee potential customers they have the most highly trained, most productive craftsmen in the industry. They can promise with confidence that the work will be done safely, on time, on budget, and will meet the highest standards possible. Often, this gives union contractors the edge they need to win in bidding competitions against non-union companies.

MARCC radio show
La Voz del Pueblo

Every Friday at 3pm, more than 85,000 Spanish speaking listeners in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and parts of Delaware tune in to 700 AM on their radio dial to listen to La Voz del Pueblo (The Voice of the People) a Radio la Jefa broadcast hosted by MARCC Rep Rafael Ramirez. Around the world, thousands more get the show on the internet.

La Voz del Pueblo is the only radio show in North America sponsored by a regional council of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.

"We sponsor the show as a community service," says Bill Halbert, MARCC CEO/Executive Secretary-Treasurer. "We know it helps working people better understand their rights and the opportunities open to them. A number of listeners have joined the union as a result of hearing about us on the show."
