Monday, December 23, 2013(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The AFL-CIO’s
Gingerbread House competition raised $861 this year, which is being donated -- through the MWC's
Community Services Agency -- to “our local union brothers and sisters with
UNITE HERE Local 25 who were recently laid
off from L’Enfant Plaza Hotel,” reports Katrina Blomdahl. The winning house, submitted by the AFL-CIO’s
Political Department, featured a replica of the AFL-CIO building, caroling AFL-CIO
officers, a train carrying toys for
tots, and, of course, Santa and his reindeer.
