Labor 2010 Keeps a Knockin'

Moorhead, MN --Union volunteers gathered Thursday night in Fargo/Moorhead for the West Area Labor Council's Labor 2010 Kick-off event. Over a dozen union members from the Red River Valley were trained on the doorknock by Tony St. Michel (BCTGM), president of Northern Plains United Labor Council and Minnesota AFL-CIO executive board member. Members from CWA, AFSCME, USW, ND AFT, BCTGM, IAM, and Education Minnesota were present.

Mark Froemke, President of the West Area Labor Council and exective board member of the MN AFL-CIO addressed the group on the importance of defining the issues that are important to working families. Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson spoke to and visited with union members in the Fargo/Moorhead Labor Temple before members hit the doors. Click here to view a slideshow.
