“This election is about building our movement!” the AFL-CIO’s Mike Cavanaugh told a rapt audience of local labor activists and leaders at last night’s Metro Council meeting. “What happens on November 8 will affect the future of every working person across the United States.” Cavanaugh (right), speaking on behalf of AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Tefere Gebre -- who was out canvassing union voters in St Louis last night -- urged the Metro Council delegates not just to volunteer on phonebanks at the AFL-CIO and the weekly Saturday walks at NoVA Labor, but to recruit their fellow union members at area locals to volunteer and, of course, to be sure to turn out to vote on Election Day. “Tefere is so proud of this labor council’s strong leadership role,” Cavanaugh said, “you’re showing the way!” Click here for details on the phonebanks and walks; click here to see the AFL-CIO's "Clinton's Values are Union Values" video. photo by Chris Garlock Comments are closed.
