Council 4 Veterans Picnic

Joins us for our 15th annual Council 4 Veterans Picnic at the Connecticut Veterans Home in Rocky Hill, CT.

This event is held rain or shine!

Every year we take time out on Memorial Day weekend to thank our veterans for their service to country and to remember those who died protecting our freedoms.

As always, we'll have a great barbeque and music as we break bread with our state's veterans.

Volunteers are needed for tasks that include setting up, cooking and serving the veterans.

Join the CT Chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and many other organizations and individuals to mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King was murdered on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, where he had come to help striking sanitiation workers who were members of AFSCME Local 1733. His legacy, which includes his passionate support for labor unions and his opposition to Right To Work, lives on, and is ever more relevant today.

Gearing Up to Defeat the 'Let Them Eat Cake' Commission

Less than three months after its inaugural meeting, the legislative Commission on Fiscal Stability and Economic Growth last Friday released its recommendations to the General Assembly.
