The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation and Saint Paul Regional Labor Federation Invite Our Union Sisters and Brothers to Attend Our We Are One Solidarity Event and Labor 2012 Kickoff

Please join us for a BBQ and rally that is being jointly hosted by the Minneapolis and Saint Paul Regional Labor Federations.
