Ithaca College

Get involved in Ithaca! The Labor Day Picnic, put on by the Tompkins County Workers’ Center is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the local community.

Please join the Tompkins County Workers' Center and the Midstate Central Labor Council for what is turning out to be a rockin' Labor Day Picnic! The Labor Day Picnic will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Monday, September 6th, in Ithaca's Stewart Park.

Special musical guests this year include Ithaca's own hip-hop Gunpoets featuring their newest and excellent release, 9-5, in honor of Labor Day. 

For twenty-six years, this Labor Day event has brought hundreds of workers, their families, and community members together for a day of fun and celebration in recognition of the sacrifices and contributions working people make to our communities every day. The public is invited to the Picnic and each family is asked to bring food for themselves to compliment the free meat and veggie burgers, hot dogs, beverages, and ice cream. Games for the kids, as well as music and speakers for all will compliment the good company to be had by all!
 

IC students interested in labor issues should contact the Workers' Center at TCWRC@yahoo.com or 607-269-0409 or via our website, www.TCWorkersCenter.org

There is also an opportunity to be part of ITHACA COLLEGE LABOR ACTIVISTS, a new student group on campus that focuses on labor issues within the Ithaca community and nationally. If you have an interest in Immigration Policy, Free Trade Agreements, Industrial Labor, Child Labor, Fair Trade, Unions, community organizing or a combination of a few of these things, then ICLA is the group for you.

If you want to be involved in making change in labor conditions in Ithaca then join Ithaca College Labor Activists. Send a quick email to Kiera Lewis at klewis3@ithaca.edu to show your interest.

Thanks, and we hope to see you on Labor Day!
