Labor Night in Annapolis was a powerful showing of the Maryland labor movement! 💪 Thank you to everyone who joined us!
Happy Women’s History Month! From those who organized in the earliest days of the labor movement to those leading our fights today, women have helped shape every path to victory. It is through their contributions, past & present, that our union is stronger, more inclusive, and ready for the future.
