Labor Calendar Highlights: A Full Weekend

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The 35th annual Great Labor Arts Exchange starts today out at the Maritime Institute Conference Center and runs through Sunday; the gathering of union and community activists focuses on using songs, art, poetry, theater, skits, posters, cartoons, and film to strengthen the labor movement. On Saturday, the USAS International Day of Action to End Deathtraps comes to the Gap in DC at 1p; activists in cities across the US, Canada, and the UK will call on the Gap and Walmart to put an end to deathtrap factories in their supply chains by signing the binding Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. And on Sunday, the DC Coalition of Labor Union Women hosts the Gloria T. Johnson Awards Luncheon, honoring the legacies and memories of Gloria T. Johnson, President Emeritus and Joyce D. Miller, President Emeritus.
