Labor Day 2010

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Union Blog

By the AFL-CIO

This Labor Day weekend, the AFL-CIO will be running television and radio ads celebrating the working people who are the backbone of our nation – and the power of working together for a stronger America. You can take a look at the TV spot on our website, www.aflcio.org.

We’ll be reaching people where they are on Labor Day weekend – on sports stations: Major League Baseball games on Sunday and Monday, the Sunday NASCAR Pep Boys Auto 500 race and the Monday night opener of NCAA football, with the top-rated Boise State vs. Virginia Tech game.

The ads will remind television viewers and radio listeners that it’s working people working together who’ve always moved our country forward—making things, innovating, building our country, keeping our communities safe, strengthening the future for our children and so much more. They are not political, but they provide a frame for the intensive grassroots political effort that will be put forth by the working women and men in AFL-CIO unions in the upcoming elections.
