Working People Remember 9/11
America’s unions honor the memory of all of those who were killed in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, including more than 600 members of our union family whom we continue to mourn today. The labor movement will continue to stand in solidarity and honor their legacy.
Here is how America’s unions are remembering 9/11:
