Dispatch

Ready-to-Work
To Michigan Members of the Northern Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters: 

Mix 2020 is down as of June 11, 2026 and will return as the Dispatch Ready-to-Work system on Monday, June 15, 2026. Dispatch Ready-to-Work is the Regional Council’s automated platform designed to streamline job referrals and member communication. It works the same as Mix 2020 but will provide more features, including new ways for you to update your profile going forward. Your existing Mix 2020 profile, and your place on the ready-to-work list will transfer over to Dispatch on June 15, 2026.
