LABOR DAY PICNIC

A Labor Day Celebration will take place on Monday, September 4 2023 at Todd Grove Park and Clubhouse, 600 Live Oak Ave, Ukiah from 11 – 3 pm.  Speakers include: Congressman Jared Huffman, Assemblymember Jim Wood and California Democratic Party Chair Rusty Hicks and Local Labor Leaders.  The event is presented by The Mendocino County Democratic Party and the Inland Mendocino Democratic Club.  Music will be provided by Mendocino Gaggle of Raging Grannies.  Food from Chef Denny.

 Labor Day celebrates the women and men who campaigned tirelessly for workers’ rights in the labor movement of the late 20th century. Their hard-fought wins are the reason for many of the rights we enjoy and take for granted today, such as a 40-hour work week, safe work conditions, paid time off, and sick leave. Those workers saw that there could be no freedom and liberty in this country without economic freedom for the working class. The holiday honors the source of this nation’s strength—American workers, unions, and labor leaders.
