Teamsters History Tour Link Updated
Monday, December 5, 2011
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The sign-up link for the December 15 Teamster
history tour has been fixed; our apologies
for the technical snafu. Teamster historian
Karin Jones leads the 1-hour tour of the new
historical exhibits at the Teamsters
headquarters building, sponsored by DC Labor
Walk. Highlights include the new lobby frieze
depicting Teamsters through the years,
fascinating artifacts and stories from the
union’s history (like how the horses on the
Teamster logo got their names). $25 per person;
$40 per couple; proceeds benefit CSA’s
Emergency Assistance Fund, which aids area
working families in need. Each participant will
also receive a copy of the 104-page
“Teamsters Snapshots in Time” glossy
coffee-table book of Teamster history photos,
as well as a Teamster’s history DVD. Sign up
now; space is limited to just 20
participants!
