With Labor Day just around the corner, we are reminded of what an exciting time it is to be members of Tennessee's labor movement. Thanks to the collective solidarity of all of our brothers and sisters across the state, working families are prepared to head into election season stronger than ever before. Whether at the state or local level and with the help of our Central Labor Councils, our members are engaged, motivated, and fired up to work to elect labor-endorsed candidates to office this fall. By speaking with one strong, collective voice, we have no doubt that we will make legislative gains for working families this November.
As the campaign season enters its final months, we are preparing for an inspiring few days of events that are planned to celebrate Labor Day and everything that working families have accomplished while looking ahead at what still needs to be done. Below is a list of some of the celebrations, webinars, and other happenings that are taking place through Monday, September 7th. To register or for more information, simply click on the name of each event. If needed, e-mails with information about any late additions will be sent out. Be sure to keep an eye out on Labor Day as well for an op-ed written by Tennessee AFL-CIO President Billy Dycus in several print and online media outlets. Mark your calendars today and make plans to attend one (or several) of these celebrations!
