PICKERINGTON, Ohio - Sept. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Local 200 of the Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters (IKORCC) participated in the Pickerington Labor Day parade on Sept. 1.

22 members, journeymen and retirees of Local 200 and their families participated in the parade. They passed out candy and Carpenters Local 200 frisbees. It took approximately one hour to travel the parade route.

A historical figure of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Peter J. McGuire, is the “founder of Labor Day,” and Local 200 thought that participating in the parade was a great way to honor people like McGuire who worked so hard in the labor movement.

“Our members showed our pride and dedication to giving back to our communities,” said Michael Freeman, IKORCC Representative and Local 200 Recording Secretary. “We put smiles on so many faces - from babies to the elderly sitting along the parade route. We are proud of our heritage and what we stand for in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. By participating in the parade, we were standing up for all carpenters.”

The Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters represents more than 32,000 professional tradespeople in 43 locals in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and parts of West Virginia and Tennessee. A proud affiliate of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, which has a century-plus tradition of representing the best of the building trades, the council works in partnership with more than 30,000 contractors, helping them find the best possible talent for their projects. The hallmark of the regional council is three-fold: training, professionalism and partnerships for economic development.
