Sunday, September 8, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
"When I look across this room I see a
story in every face," said retiring AFL-CIO
Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker in
an emotional address Saturday afternoon at the
State Federation, Area and Central Labor
Council meeting. "We've been in this struggle a
long time together. You are the most critical
part of this movement, because you're there on
the ground, as we've seen in the battles over
the last few years." The assembled delegates
gave Holt Baker a prolonged standing ovation.
