The morning's announcement, according to a press release from Atlanta City Hall, will pull back the curtain at 9:30 a.m., with city officials, labor leaders, and media poised to learn exactly how these principles will take root in Atlanta soil. This is more than a cursory meet-and-greet; media personnel are encouraged to arrive by 9:00 a.m. to settle in before the unveiling. For media planning to attend, a heads up is mandatory – RSVPs should be directed to [email protected], as declared on the city’s official website.
Those expected to grace this seminal event include Atlanta Labor Commissioner John Flanagan, North Georgia Labor Council President Sandra Williams, GA Stand UP CEO Deborah Scott, and GA AFL-CIO President Yvonne Brooks. The gathering is set to be a confluence of ideas and aspirations, each individual a key player in the city's labor landscape.
The initiative is based on the Labor Department’s Good Jobs Principles, which focus on improving job opportunities with dignity, respect, and fair wages. The presence of such high-profile leaders signifies a genuine commitment to Atlanta’s workers. The ceremonial venue, will take place in Atlanta City Hall at 55 Trinity Ave., setting the stage for a significant change in labor transformation.
