Walking Tour Explores DC Labor History

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

From the Labor Hall of Fame to Joe Hill’s ashes, worker’s history is around just about every corner in our nation’s capitol, if you know where to look. Metro Washington Council Union Cities Coordinator Chris Garlock (right) - who usually helps local and national activists make history on DC’s streets – is leading a DC Labor History Walking Tour on Saturday, October 23. The 2-hour walking tour of downtown DC reveals labor’s often-untold story of protest and resistance and all tour fees go to DC Jobs with Justice, a coalition of labor, faith, community and student organizations that has played a leading role in the fight for workers' rights in the nation's capital.
