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.
