AFTRA Tri-State Joins 2007 America @ Work in Cincinnati

From June 15 to 17, it amazed, informed, and entertained visitors of all ages. America @ Work 2007, the AFL-CIO union-industries show, featured the best-ever exhibit of union-made goods and services, showcasing the skills of millions of American union workers.

This unique show, which began in Cincinnati in 1937, travels to a different city every year. What makes this show unique is that the public is invited, admission is free, and over $200,000.00 of quality, American union-made products are given away during this three-day event as we celebrate the American union worker and educate the public about the importance of keeping quality jobs in the us. AFTRA was part of the behind the scenes support and was honored to be part of the special ribbon cutting ceremony with the mayor of Cincinnati.
