Sunday, September 8, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
"When I look across this room I see a story in every face," said retiring
AFL-CIO Executive Vice President Arlene Holt Baker in an emotional address
Saturday afternoon at the State Federation, Area and Central Labor Council
meeting. "We've been in this struggle a long time together. You are the most
critical part of this movement, because you're there on the ground, as we've
seen in the battles over the last few years." The assembled delegates gave Holt
Baker a prolonged standing ovation. photo by Bill Burke/Page One
