quote:

From May 16-18 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, hundreds of exciting exhibits and hands-on demonstrations will celebrate America’s union workers and the work they do.

The 70th Annual America-at-Work AFL-CIO Union-Industries Show has something for everyone: adults and kids, high school seniors and senior citizens.

Admission is FREE!

For the first time in the show’s history, many of our exhibitors will be encouraged to sell their high-quality products on the Show floor—including automobiles, tools, work clothes, appliances, work boots, sporting equipment, building products and more—at special prices.

It's the largest collection ever of union-made-in-the-USA products and services under one roof

There are also going to be guided tours of the Labor Legacy Memorial in nearby Hart Plaza. I believe these tours meet at the memorial and start at 12:30PM and 4:00PM on Saturday and Sunday. I am giving one of the tours at 12:30 on Saturday!

Charlie Kernaghan from the National Labor Committee in Support of Human and Worker Rights is going to give a speech there Saturday morning, I think.
