Union Solidarity

Greetings!

We recently marked the 11th anniversary of the attacks on 9/11, and while it still conjures painful memories, it is also a time to acknowledge the rebuilding our country has done since then and the work still ahead of us. The construction of the new Freedom Tower in Manhattan is a fine representation of the resilience of the American people, and no surprise, it’s union built!

It is a reminder that certain rights are inalienable, like the rights to safe and fair working conditions, which is why thousands of teachers packed the streets of Chicago in a strike against an unfair labor contract. Unions exist so that these rights may be exercised by every American worker and this is why we at Labor 411 continue to ask you to support unions by buying their products and services.

So come on by and check out the NEW Labor 411 website that now includes the gorgeous city of San Francisco. And if you’re in the Los Angeles area, don’t miss our Union Trade Show & BBQ on Monday, Sept. 17. And Union Night with the LA Galaxy is right around the corner – come see David Beckham, Landon Donovan and the LA Galaxy take it to Toronto FC on Sept. 22! Get your tickets here while they last!




                                                            In solidarity,

                                                            Labor 411

Quote of the Week

"Employers and employees alike have learned that in union there is strength, that a coordination of individual effort means an elimination of waste, a bettering of living conditions, and is in fact, the father of prosperity."
