Guild remembers MLK's fight for civil rights, workers' rights

Guild members joined thousands of other Dayton marchers in February to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. King stood not only for the cause of civil rights but also for the cause of workers' rights.

Labor Action

Calling on you to call Congress

The Guild will be calling on you to make calls and write letters to Congress in support of the Employee Free Choice Act. These efforts could not be more important. Passage of the Employee Free Choice Act will ensure that in a 21st century America there will exist and thrive a viable middle class: the very group of citizens history has shown to have the means to purchase our content and support our local advertisers.
