You know that the U.S. has come far, and not in a good way, when you see Labor Day on the calendar and think, “This country has a federal holiday devoted to celebrating the labor movement?” But it does; it became a federal holiday in 1894! While these days most folks just see the three-day weekend as the unofficial end of summer, the South Central Federation of Labor celebrates the roots of the holiday with music, kids' fun, food, info tabling and more. The Periodicals play at noon; there’s a solidarity roll call at 2 p.m. and VO5 gets everybody on the dance floor, or lawn, at 3 p.m.
media release: The South Central Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO would like to invite you to attend our annual Labor-Fest celebration on Labor Day (Monday, September 4th), at the Madison Labor Temple, 1602 S. Park Street. VO5 and The Periodicals will perform. The event is free and open to the public. Food and beverages are available for purchase. There will also be magic shows, bounce house, face painting and balloon twisting for kids.
We also need volunteers to help out on Labor Day. You can find a list of volunteer opportunities here.
