VA labor walks set new records for turnout

“This election is going to determine our outcome for 2020,” says UFCW Local 400’s Felicia Miller, Labor 2019 Central Virginia Zone Lead. “We have a chance to take the House and the Senate and people are really enthused about this election. We are going to continue to get out there and get all of our members to support so that we can get all of the right candidates to protect and advance the lives of the working class folks." Last week’s Saturday canvasses across the state continued to break records, turning out over 100 union activists “to ensure that other union members know about what they ‘autumn’ know about what's at stake during this year's election for them and their unions,” reported the Virginia AFL-CIO. The walks continue tomorrow in five locations (see Calendar, above).
