‘Make the Most of This Opportunity,’ Labor Secretary Marty Walsh Declares at AFL-CIO Convention
Our union brother, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh (LIUNA), delivered a call to action at our convention on Monday. He shared his story of growing up in a union family in Boston, and how the values he learned as a child inspired the work he’s doing as America’s secretary of labor.
“Now, for the first time in a long time, there’s wind at your back,” Walsh told the convention. “You have the highest level of union worker interest in our lifetime. You have, in Washington, the most pro-labor administration committing to help. You have a chance to write the next chapter of the labor movement: America’s journey to economic justice.”
Walsh also announced the formation of a one-stop resource website for workers looking to join a union. He called on union members to share their stories through the Department of Labor to encourage non-union workers to form their union. Learn more about submitting your story here.
