SWEETWATER COUNTY — The Southwestern Wyoming Central labor Council will sponsor a Labor Day food drive in conjunction with their annual picnic and horseshoe tournament.

All workers and their families are invited to attend the picnic and are asked to bring non-perishable food items to be donated to the Food Bank of Sweetwater County. The food bank needs packaged side dishes, canned fruit, canned meat, egg noodles, sugar, flour, cereal, shelf stable milk and other non perishable items.

The picnic will be held on Labor Day, September 7 from 11 am to 4 pm at Reliance Park in Reliance. Food and beverages are provided and the picnic is free as always.

The Southwestern Wyoming Central Labor Council represents eighteen local unions and thousands of workers in southwestern Wyoming. Through the state AFL-CIO and our local unions we educate the public on workers’ rights and issues. The council helps provide equal pay for working men and women, advocates for a voice and dignity in the workplace and for a safe working environment. We are your neighbors, family, youth coaches and community leaders. We encourage our members to participate in the community and to spend their wages locally.
