“Labor's Diva” Renee Barnes is back by popular demand. The OPEIU Local 2 member who works at AFSCME International will once again perform the National Anthem at the 4th annual Labor Night At The Nats on July 9. Tickets are just $10 each, with proceeds benefiting CSA's emergency assistance fund. “With some area workers now on strike, funds needed now more than ever,” reports CSA Executive Director Kathleen McKirchy. Among those purchasing tickets already are Iron Workers Local 5, Sheet Metal Local 100, AFGE 2782, Insulators Local 24, UFCW 400, Teamsters 639, IATSE 22 and Laborers Local 657.
