The Southern Maine Labor Council will be a holding its annual Labor Day breakfast in Portland on Monday, September 4. The breakfast will once again be held at the Maine Irish Heritage Center: 34 Gray St, Portland. Doors open at 7am. The breakfast and program run from 8am to 10am. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited, so reservations are required!

RSVP to Sister Elizabeth O’Connor (AFSCME) at bondocon@atlanticbb.net with your ticket requests as well as what level of sponsorship your Local or organization is planning to contribute. For planning purposes, RSVPs are due by midnight on Friday, September 1st without exception! Seating is limited so please be mindful of your fellow union family members wishing to attend by limiting your reservations to the number of seats that you are certain that you and/or your Local will use.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback from last year’s attendees, this event will once again be made possible by the generous sponsorships of SMLC labor community, allies, and friends. These donations not only help make this event possible but are also critical to SMLC’s programming throughout the year, providing support for things like: laid off workers, strike funds, supporting good policy and policymakers, member education & enrichment, and more.
