Dear Union Family,

 

As we feel safer and safer, we are so excited to announce that planning is underway for our 9TH ANNUAL LABOR DAY PARADE AND CELEBRATION, which will be held in-person on Saturday, September 3, 2022. Further details for this celebration will be released soon. 

 

BECOME A LABOR DAY SPONSOR 

 

We celebrate the countless acts of solidarity that have kept us safe, kept our boats afloat, and lifted up our fellow workers during this difficult time. When corporations and their political allies put profit margins over our lives, working people are organizing. We are seeing approval ratings for Unions in our country at the highest point since 1965, and Union representation petitions are up 57%. Americans view labor Unions more favorably than they have in decades, a fact we must recognize and organize around to realize our movement’s full potential.

 

We need our Central Labor Council to be in a strong position to support the organizing efforts of affiliates and organizing workers which will lead to growing Union numbers in Middle Tennessee.  With the growth in battery plants throughout the state, in addition to manufacturing coming online in the next few years, we must have an organizing strategy that supports as many grassroots organizers as we can train. We will be working with the AFL-CIO Organizing Institute and having periodic Rabble Rouser classes to equip as many organizers as possible with the tools needed to support the energy and action of this moment.

 

To continue building the power and organizing capacity of our Central Labor Council, we ask that you maximize your support by generously sponsoring the 9th Annual Labor Day Parade and Celebration this year. Your contribution will be directly invested in growing our Middle Tennessee Labor Movement into the strong and dynamic force it must be in order to continue fighting and winning big victories for Middle Tennessee families. 

 

We appreciate the critical role every activist, labor leader, and supporter plays in our movement, and are proud to have you by our side as we continue the fight for a society in which safety, dignity, and prosperity are seen not as privileges for the few, but as fundamental rights for all working people.

 

Thankful for your Solidarity,

Vonda McDaniel, President
