Celebrating Labor Day in Style: Local 2785 BBQ Extravaganza
October 18, 2023
Labor Day, a day dedicated to honoring the hardworking men and women who contribute to the strength and prosperity of our nation, is a time for celebration, relaxation, and camaraderie. This year, Teamsters Local 2785 went above and beyond to commemorate this important holiday with their spectacular Labor Day BBQ. On the sunny September afternoon, this event was a true testament to the spirit of unity and solidarity among workers.
Teamsters Local 2785 has a long-standing tradition of organizing events that not only promote their members’ well-being but also foster a sense of community. The Labor Day BBQ was no exception. It was a day filled with laughter, good food, and the chance to connect with fellow members and their families.
A highlight of this event was all the kids having a blast competing in sack races, water balloon toss, and a three-legged race. Meanwhile the adults competed in an egg toss with hilarious results. The competition led to raffles, through which members took home everything from gift cards to big screen televisions.
The BBQ was also an opportunity for Teamsters Local 2785 to show their appreciation for their members’ dedication and hard work. A heartfelt speech by Principle Officer Joe Cilia emphasized the importance of unions in protecting workers’ rights and ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions. This message resonated deeply with those in attendance, reinforcing the union’s commitment to their members.
Labor Day is not just a day off work; it’s a day to honor the contributions of the American workforce. The Teamsters Local 2785 Labor Day BBQ exemplified the true spirit of this holiday by bringing together workers from various sectors, celebrating their achievements, and promoting the values of solidarity and community.
