Labor Day 2008

Monday, September 1st
From Labor Day to Election Day

We have much to celebrate this year. From Hollywood to the Docks where we’ve settled contracts for thousands of workers and won organizing rights for Port Drivers, Security Officers, and Hotel Workers. To the passage of the first-in-the nation Construction Careers Policy which will add 15,000 new Union Jobs to Los Angeles.

However 2008 isn’t over. There is much more to be won so this Labor Day we will also look forward to what we must accomplish before the year is out. From Labor Day to Election Day we must focus our efforts on electing Barack Obama, a President who will put working families first and Mark Ridley-Thomas who will be a Supervisor who will implement the President’s policies in LA.

So join us at any of the Labor Day events listed below as we honor our past and plan for our future.
