Fairfax Dems OK Union Label Resolution

The Fairfax County Democratic Committee approved a Union Label Resolution earlier this week, reports Shannon Sullivan, a Virginia labor and political activist who chairs the FCDC Labor Committee. The resolution "recognizes the importance of organized labor within our workplace, community, and the political process," and puts the Committee on record supporting "the principles extolled by organized labor, and embodied in the union label" as well as pledging that printed material bearing the Fairfax County Democratic Committee's authorization line will be printed at a union print shop and carry the union label. "It was a resolution that spawned heated debate," Sullivan tells UNION CITY! "Labor triumphed with a super-majority of committee members supporting the principals of union patronage and the importance of the union label. It was a good night for labor!"
