    Irony marches with union sign carriers - By Tom McGhee, Denver Post
    For the past year, the Mountain West Regional Council of Carpenters has conducted the lunch-time rallies. On most weekdays, demonstrators target one to three downtown buildings, chanting or holding banners that call attention to nonunion work being done inside.
