U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez to Visit #LaborfestMKE!
Click to RSVP to #LaborfestMKE 2016!
FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! Come celebrate Labor Day with those who created it: organized workers at the festival built with volunteers and donations. #LABORFESTMKE
Starting with a parade at Carl Zeidler Square Wisconsin Union Memorial in Downtown Milwaukee featuring union affiliates, partners and allies at 11 am, the festival opens at noon at the Summerfest grounds with free entertainment all day long for the kids and family.
And, for those in need as the cold weather approaches, please bring a pair of NEW SOCKS for our 2nd annual
LABOR SOCK DRIVE
for local charities and children at Milwaukee Public Schools.
Thrilled to host Hon. @LaborSec Perez at #LaborfestMKE w/ @SenatorBaldwin & @Gwen4Congress > https://t.co/b9F8F07ISrpic.twitter.com/MFVb5iKEy1
