The St. Louis Labor Council Labor Festival returns August 27th, 2023. The St. Louis Labor Tribune has the news…
The St. Louis Labor Council will host its first ever Labor Festival Sunday, Aug. 27 – the weekend before Labor Day – from noon to 4 p.m.at the Knights of Columbus in Florissant.
St. Louis Labor Council President Pat White said the event will be held in lieu of the regular Labor Day parade held in downtown St. Louis.
“Several groups mentioned that they wanted to try something different this year on a non-holiday weekend, so we’re trying something new,” White said. “We’re going to have a men’s and women’s tug-o-war. There will also be live music, fun for the kids and other adult activities, along with food and beverages.
I had the honor of managing a couple of our Tug-O-War teams in recent years. Of course, our t-shirts spread the word about bargaining. Here’s a graphic from one of those shirts that is still relevant. Get ready to pull those wages higher!
