It's In Our Hands - 2024 Endorsements

As we approach the 2024 elections, it’s crucial to spotlight candidates who stand with us on Carpenter issues. Central Midwest Carpenters’ Business Representatives have engaged with legislators and candidates across the council to ensure they understand the key issues that affect our members. As we consider who to endorse, we are paying attention to how they vote, what they support, and will they have our backs – not what their political party is.

Below, we proudly present our endorsed candidates for Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio—leaders who are committed to advocating for our community and supporting policies that enhance the livelihoods of all carpenters. We are a strong force when we vote together, it’s in our hands!

Carpenters Issues

• Good Union Jobs

• On-the-Job Safety

• Protecting Apprenticeship Programs

• Unemployment Compensation Members Rely on in Heavy Highway Work

• Protection from Harmful Right-to-Work Laws

• Protecting Prevailing Wage

• Fighting Employer Misclassification and Worker Misclassification

Elections have consequences. We work with legislators all-year-round on upcoming projects, legislation that supports union jobs, Project Labor Agreements (PLA), relationship building, and more. For more information and to view the UBC endorsement page and search by address, click here.
