Twin Cities Pride Parade update:
Parade is this Sunday, June 24 beginning at 11 AM.
The Minnesota AFL-CIO is assigned spot 43 in the parade lineup, but since we will have a float we will be staging with the other float entrants in the parking lot at 3rd Street South and Hennepin Avenue (across from the Central Library). We are asking participants to aim for a 10 AM arrival so we can self-organize before the parade begins.
Workers are under attack around the world. From events in Wisconsin to events in Canada to events in China, we see large corporations make ever-increasing profits and the workers make less money.
Workers around the world need to unite in global solidarity and fight back against corporate greed and power.
The ILC is excited to bring you the opportunity to meet with your international brothers and sisters in labor, learn about issues facing unions across the globe, and participate in unity and solidarity events at this year’s conference, taking place in beautiful Grand Portage, Minnesota.
Last Tuesday, hundreds of union members and supporters gathered to dedicate a memorial to Minnesota's fallen workers. The memorial garden, located on the state capitol grounds, is the culmination of 25 years of work by Minnesota AFL-CIO President-Emeritus David Roe who was instrumental in bringing it to life.

How can we reach young workers and build the labor movement ? How can young union members shape their unions? How can we build upon what so many others fought for to protect working families? How can we take advantage of technology to communicate with union members?
