AFL-CIO’s Shuler at WA YELL event tonight
SEATTLE (June 7) — “Sunset Cocktails on the Sound,” the social and fundraising event to benefit the Washington Young Emerging Labor Leaders (WA YELL) featuring special guest AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Liz Shuler, is TONIGHT from 5 to 9 p.m. at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle.
“I’m looking forward to attending WA YELL’s ‘Sunset Cocktails on the Sound’ and letting our emerging leaders know that we believe in the skills, hard work and creativity that they bring to our movement,” she said. “Believe me, I’ve already been inspired by our up and coming leaders. Thanks to those of you that have already committed to attending this incredible event, and if you don’t have your ticket — please get it now. See you there!”

As the youngest elected officer in AFL-CIO history, Shuler is committed to increasing the involvement of young adults in the labor movement.
