The 2019 St. Louis Labor Day will be held on Monday, September 2nd in downtown St. Louis. Union members, family members, allies, community members are all welcome! If you are marching in the parade with your union, please see the below map and contact your local union hall with questions. Line-up will start at 7am at your designated location and the parade through downtown will kick off at 9am. We hope to see you there!
Brother and Sisters:
The St. Louis Cardinals are once again hosting a Union Appreciation Day game to honor union families for the contribution we make to the community and the support our members give to our great team.
The event features special ticket price, a special stocking cap with a unique “Cardinals Union Proud” logo on it and most importantly, a portion of the ticket sale goes to our $5 for the Fight fund to support our members in times of a family crisis.
It’s a great LABOR DAY outing for the family!
In the wake of natural disasters across the state, the Missouri AFL-CIO has created the Missouri Working Families Relief Fund to send a message of hope and solidarity to working people in need. Just this week, Missouri requested a second federal disaster declaration due to flooding and tornadoes. As always, union members are leading the relief efforts. First Responders, public employees, and working people across the state are on the front lines evacuating people to safety, tending to the injured, restoring power, and rebuilding. The Missouri Working Families Relief Fund provides union members with another avenue to be on the front lines and help working people who’ve had their lives turned upside down. The fund will provide some financial assistance to natural disaster victims to help them begin to rebuild their lives.
“As a labor movement, we know we’re strongest when we stand arm in arm. The Missouri Working Families Relief Fund creates an opportunity for union members to help other members during their time of need.” said Mike Louis, Missouri AFL-CIO President.
Members who have been affected by any of the recent flooding, tornadoes, or other catastrophes can contact their local Central Labor Council office to get assistance.
Or, members may contact Vickie Beck at the Missouri AFL-CIO office at 573-634-2115 or vbeck@moaflcio.org. And here is the form that you will be required to fill out.
Monday, September 5, 2016 is the Labor Day Parade festivities. Below is a letter from President Pat White with details of the event for participating unions.

In the 1970’s, HUD demolished the Pruit-Igoe Housing Project in North St. Louis. Since then, North St. Louis and North St. Louis County have experienced continuous deterioration and disinvestment. Residents of North St. Louis and North St. Louis County have suffered through these steadily worsening conditions for more than forty years, resulting in the tragedy of Ferguson, viewed by millions. Now, the National Geospatial Agency (NGA) in South St. Louis needs a new headquarters and must choose between North St. Louis and a site 35 miles outside of the city. Executive Order 12072 requires that we give priority to urban areas when we move federal facilities. North St. Louis and North St. Louis County are in the Promise Zone. Locating NGA in the urban core will spur unprecedented private and public investment. We have created a new petition on “We the People”, a feature on President Obama’s website, WhiteHouse.gov: Enforce Presidential Executive Order 12072, and select North St. Louis City as the home of the new NGA West Headquarters. You can help by adding your name to this petition. If this petition gets 99,999 signatures by February 07, 2016, the White House will review it and respond!
SIGN THE PETITION TO KEEP THE NGA IN ST. LOUIS
