Join AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, NYC Central Labor Council President Vincent Alvarez, and other labor and community leaders of New York, Philadelphia and beyond in a passionate articulation of the theme for the evening: A New Synergy in the American Labor Movement.
The creation of the National Taxi Workers Alliance, the 57th chartered union of the AFL-CIO, is a watershed moment in United States Labor History. This is the first new charter for non-traditional workers in over 60 years and the first for independent contractors. A new day has dawned in the industry we call the "sweatshop on wheels" as tens of thousands of workers -- working class, over 95% immigrant, majority Muslim and Sikh -- drive back home with organizing in gear, fueled by solidarity. The Synergy Reception is a very special event -- one that builds a range of new relationships and a start-up fund for the National TWA. Share your vision, partake of the best Southern Italian and Argentinian wines and the most sumptuous array of global hors d'oeuvres. It's our evening together and a new dawn for millions of American workers. We hope to celebrate this moment with you on April 26th. . |
