Honor Their Sacrifice: UVC Prepares the Labor Movement to Observe Memorial Day

Memorial Day 2022 is quickly approaching, and to help unions and federated bodies prepare for this important holiday, the Union Veterans Council, AFL-CIO, (UVC) has created a communications toolkit. With more than 1 million active working military veterans in our movement, every union has members who have served in America's armed forces. While workers across the nation spend time celebrating with our family and friends, let us also take a moment to remember those who died in service to our country.

Post the following graphics on social media on Memorial Day (Monday, May 30):

The UVC will collect and share videos highlighting the voices of union veterans and members. Click here to record a short video and tell us why Memorial Day is important to you. Unions and federated bodies are also being urged to take part in community projects such as cleaning veterans' memorials and parks in their local area and laying a wreath.
