Welcome to
Chicago
Welcome to Chicago! The city of Big Shoulders welcomes you to its beautiful, world-class downtown. We are happy you are here with us. Not far from here is where one of our predecessor unions was founded (ACW) and where the fight for the 8-hour workday began.
Chicago is a proud Union Town. We are happy to be holding our convention at a Union hotel, where everyone you will meet belongs to a Union. So, let's not forget to thank a Union member this week.
Our convention will be held from June 3rd at 3 PM CDT until June 5th at 1 PM CDT. The hotel information is as follows:
VOCO by Holiday Inn at Chicago's Riverwalk
350 W. Wolf Point Plaza
Building 1 - 15th Floor
Chicago, IL 60654
Our awesome Chicago staff has taken care of all your lodging and dietary needs. Please let your union representative know if there are any changes.
If you are driving, please park at:
325 W Wolf Point Plaza
CHICAGO, IL 60654
(Please let your rep know if your car is taller than 6'8" as you will need to use a different garage.)
