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

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.
