Landmark Union Building's New Life
Monday, August 4, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)IBEW Local 26
features the new Marriott Marquis on the cover of the most recent edition of
the local’s quarterly publication. Union-built and now staffed by union
members, the Marquis incorporates the former headquarters of the AFL, a
historic building at the corner of 9th and
Massachusetts Avenue that subsequently served as the headquarters of the
Plumbers. “Given the building’s rich history, it seems all the more fitting
that organized labor should be lovingly constructing its next chapter,” says
the IN Charge
report.
