Labor Day 2014—a Celebration

September 9, 2014

Local 888 members and leaders celebrated the accomplishments of the labor movement on Labor Day. Members and staff attended the annual Labor Day breakfast at the Park Plaza. Afterwards many turned out to support nearly 100 members of our sister SEIU local who rallied to keep MBTA stations safe and clean.

Local 888 also had an informational tent at the 30th Annual Bread and Roses Heritage Festival on Labor Day on the Lawrence Common. Members of the Latino Caucus performed on the main stage at the festival and CPCS staff members spoke about their campaign to form a new union at the History Tent.
