Unions
Among the industries and workers Alaska’s unions represent are service contract workers, transit workers, plumbers and pipefitters, tourism industry workers, oil and gas workers, and pipeline maintenance workers. Many Alaskan unions also operate under cooperative agreements with the state’s Alaska Native workers. The Alaska Business Unions Directory lists unions from all industries statewide.

The Art of Architecture
February 2020
Architects often find themselves facing something of a chicken and egg dilemma. When it comes to design, what takes precedence—form or function?
“It’s a great question, and it’s probably a loaded question,” says David McVeigh, president of RIM Architects. “You can ask ten different architects and get ten different answers.”
Many of the factors that influence those answers land outside the architect’s control. The client’s vision for the building, its location and intended use, the project budget, and whether the design must conform to specific guidelines are all details the architect must consider when determining how much emphasis to place on aesthetics and how much on function.
