Around the Regions: Upstate 1199ers Celebrate Labor Day

On September 4, members from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse came together in marches across New York State in honor of Labor Day. Percy Jackson, an 1199 Delegate in the Food and Nutrition Department at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, says the day means a lot to him because of his secure employment and healthcare.

Strong Transport Assistant Charles Lentine, meanwhile, says Labor Day represents, “1199 and all the hard work our members put in every year.”
