Trumka on the DC Labor FilmFest

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)“Art can certainly bring alive the struggles of the past,” said AFL-CIO President Richard L. Trumka last Friday, introducing the screening of “We Are Wisconsin” at the AFL-CIO. “By witnessing the stories of those struggles, we can learn from them. We can imagine similar transformations today.” The Labor FilmFest – which Trumka called an “absolutely wonderful film festival” – continues through Thursday night; click here for the schedule and here to read Trumka’s remarks. - photo of Trumka (left) and Metro Council President Jos Williams introducing "We Are Wisconsin" by Chris Garlock
