NoVA Picnic Draws Record Crowd

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The Northern Virginia Area Labor Federation hosted “the largest Labor Day picnic the Northern Virginia Area Labor Federation has hosted in the nearly 20 years of doing so,” reports NoVa’s Dan Duncan. “About 300 people attended, including Labor-endorsed Congressional candidates Gerry Connolly (VA 11th District) and Judy Feder (VA 10th District) as well as state senators, delegates and local officials from Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties. Members contributed several hundred dollars to the Fire Fighters' MDA ‘Fill the Boot’ drive and many Employee Free Choice Act pledge cards were signed.”
