(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The AFL-CIO’s
Gingerbread House competition raised $861 this year,
which is being
donated -- through the MWC's
Community Services Agency -- to “our local
union brothers and sisters with
UNITE HERE Local 25 who were recently
laid off from L’Enfant Plaza Hotel,”
reports Katrina Blomdahl. The winning house,
submitted by the AFL-CIO’s Political
Department, featured a replica of the
AFL-CIO building, caroling AFL-CIO officers, a
train carrying toys for tots,
and, of course, Santa and his
reindeer.
