National Tweet-A-Thon on Labor Day

In conjunction with the AFL-CIO and American Rights At Work, AEA invites you to participate in a Labor Day "Tweet-A-Thon." Help send a positive message about the value of unions and your pride in being a union member.

Starting on Friday, September 3rd, join us by sending a "tweet" with a hash tag #unionmember on Labor Day to showcase the strength, solidarity and diversity of our unions.

Here are some suggested tweets
