Labor Day Picnic at Covell Lake Park
About this Event
There is Solidarity in a Union!
Sunday, September 13, from 1 to 3 PM at Covell Lake Park.
Free food (Hot Dogs, Falafel), lawn games and craft tables for the kids. You do not have to belong to a union. You do not have to know anything about us. Bring your family, bring a lawn chair, stay twenty minutes or the whole time.
The Sioux Falls Regional Labor Federation has been around since 1902. We are the body that ties the local unions in this area together. Our members build the buildings, plow the streets, pack the meat, sort the books, wax the floors, stack the bricks, run the conduit, sweep the floors, deliver the mail, fit the pipes, protect the community, fight the fires, cut the wood, drive the trucks, run the lab tests, treat the water, takeout the trash, cut the grass, plant the trees, repair the roads, file the papers, sort the produce, and so much more. For most of the last century this federation has been also a highly active civic organization in Sioux Falls.
This picnic is where that starts. There will be people there who can tell you the history of labor in this town, what the federation does now and how to get involved in your local, your neighborhood or your city, county, and state government.
We gather the second Sunday of every month for LABOR BRUNCH at the Sioux Falls Labor Temple at 101 S. Fairfax Avenue. Next one is October 11.
