​AFL-CIO Statement on the Death of Tyre Nichols

1/30/2023

 
Statement from AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Fred Redmond following the indictment of five Memphis, Tennessee, police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols: “Our hearts break for Tyre Nichols, those who loved him, and a community in pain, in light of his death during a violent encounter at the hands of five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop on Jan. 7. Tyre was a beloved father, son and friend who was working to build a good life for himself and his family. We join the call in demanding justice for Tyre Nichols and remain dedicated to advancing racial justice throughout our nation.” Read more here.

“We want every single eligible worker to file a claim. We have $1.5 million to put back in the pockets of workers, and we want them to submit their claims and get their money.”

As we have worked to recover from the pandemic, unions have been the voice for all workers in unprecedented times. Union members have taken courageous actions to strike when denied quality-of-life benefits, and mobilized to the polls during a historic election season.

For these reasons, we pause from the fight to recognize and celebrate our union leaders. Registration is now open for the 44th Annual Evening with Labor! Please join us on Friday, March 3.

Join the Metro Washington Labor Council AFL-CIO and our affiliates for an evening to celebrate our exceptional leaders in the labor movement. Doors will open at 6:00pm for an evening of drinks, an award dinner, and dancing.

Sponsors make this event possible. See all our available sponsorship opportunities, and secure your organization's sponsorship today.
​

Our work is often incremental but significant and cause for celebration. Register to join this year's event and we'll see you on March 3!
