Reminder: AFL-CIO Bus Tour & Labor Day Events Across Maine

Labor Day is coming up and there's a lot going on in Maine. Labor Day is our time to join together in the spirit of solidarity, celebrate working people and continue our fight for freedom, fairness and security.

The National AFL-CIO "It's Better in a Union" bus tour will be the Solidarity Center in Brewer for a press conference and lunch Tuesday August 26, 11am. The following day, Wednesday August 27, 5pm, it will stop at the Local 14 Solidarity Center in Jay for a rally and training titled "Power with Purpose: Safety, Security & De-escalation for Picket Lines and Collective Actions."

On Labor Day weekend Central Labor Councils will be holding events full of food, music and fun in Portland, Skowhegan and Brewer. See our webpage for details!

Community groups across the state are organizing numerous “Workers Over Billionaires” rallies with events planned in Augusta, Brunswick, Damariscotta, Bridgton, Waterville, Auburn, Wayne, Farmington, Dexter, Calais and many other towns. These events are organized by other groups. Union members will be speaking at many of these rallies. See our webpage for details!
