Workers are the backbone of public service - but public sector workers are under attack on the local, state and federal levels. The Thurston - Lewis - Mason Central Labor Council invites you to stand up for the people who make our public services work at a Public Sector Workers Rise Up rally at the Washington State Capitol’s Tivoli Fountain (103 Capitol Way S, Olympia, WA 98501 - click here for a map) from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Sunday, August 31st.

Working people rely on our public employees for vital services that keep our society running, but their jobs are being slashed, their voices are being silenced, and their rights in the workplace are being dismantled. It’s time to demand an end to the assaults on our essential services, mass lay offs, and a broken system that focuses on making the rich richer and treats workers as liabilities. It’s time we had accountability and change from our leaders.

Labor Day is about celebrating America’s workers - including our public sector workers. Join us at the state Capitol on the day before Labor Day and stand up for the people who have dedicated their lives to making sure we are safe and secure.
