Members’ Voices<\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s what a few of our members have to say about their time at the Fair last year:<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed seeing the kids there to participate in the drawings and having fun at the Labor Pavilion. It\u2019s like a big playground. Also, it was a lot of fun
\nto see people from other stores who I used to work with as well as current members who stopped by the kiosk.\u201d\u2013 David Maas<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed interacting with fairgoers and talking about my\u00a0union. People found out more about our stores and things they didn\u2019t know about, like our organic produce section at Cub Quarry.\u201d \u2013 Ryan Houglum<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoyed meeting new people and the enthusiasm of telling people about our union and the work that we do. We got more public exposure as a union and that is great.\u201d\u2013 Terri Herrera
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Thanks again to all of our employers who generously donated large\u00a0gift cards to give away daily at the Fair in 2017! Your support of our members means so much as we show off our union employers, workplaces, and work that build better and stronger communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
