AFL-CIO Union-Industries Detroit Show          

May 16-18  Cobo Center

The Executive Board of the Union Label & Service Trades Department has approved the selection of Detroit as the site for the 2008 America-at-Work Union Industries Show, along with significant changes in how the Show will work—including the   sale of union-made-inthe USA products and services from the Show floor.

Arrangements are underway to showcase and sell automobiles, motorcycles, sporting goods, clothing, housewares, appliances, food stuff, glassware, computers, furniture—the entire gamut of goods typically on display. The Department will be encouraging local contractors to also market union services—from painting, roofing, electrical and brickwork, plumbing, and more.

For more information regarding booth rentals, please call           313 961-0800.
