Labor walks in the bluegrass state

by Tim Robertson — Kentucky

The Working America office here in Louisville, KY, was fortunate enough to participate in the first labor walk of this election season. Highlighted speakers included the Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, and the labor-endorsed candidate for governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear. Both stopped in with our Working America delegation to shake hands and introduce themselves, which was quite an honor. State president Bill Londrigan announced our presence to the crowd, as well as our total of more than 39,000 new Working America members to a raucous ovation from the union members in attendance. It was a great time, and very inspiring to see how much our work is appreciated by everyone in the labor movement.

Paid for by AFL-CIO Committee on Political Education Treasury Fund.
