Arlene Holt Baker, the newly-elected Executive Vice President of the AFL-CIO, will march and  speak on behalf of the country’s largest labor federation at the CIW’s March on Burger King this November.  She will be joined by the AFL-CIO’s Director of Organizing, Stewart Acuff, and union members from across Florida and the country.

Eliseo Medina, Executive Vice President of SEIU and a leader of the Change to Win coalition of unions, will also be joining the march and speaking at the rally outside Burger King’s corporate headquarters. Change to Win affiliated unions in Miami — including SEIU 11 and UNITE HERE Local 355 — have long been close CIW allies, an alliance forged over years of fighting together for workers’ rights on picket lines, marches, and in hunger strikes, bridging the divide between Miami and Immokalee.

The CIW is honored to have two such distinguished national labor leaders — whose leadership is rooted in years of hard-fought activism — joining us for this historic march. See you — one month from now — in Miami!
