Bernie Sanders to Hold New Hampshire Worker Appreciation Tour on November 23-25, 2019

Three-day swing to highlight Sanders’ longtime commitment to workers’ rights and organized labor



MANCHESTER, N.H. – Sen. Bernie Sanders will return to New Hampshire from November 23rd to the 25th for a Worker Appreciation tour. The Senator has a long history of fighting for union members and working families, as emphasized in his Workplace Democracy Plan which aims to restore workers’ rights to bargain for better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Most recently in the Granite State, Sen. Sanders participated in a rally for nursing home workers in Brentwood seeking to organize with SEA-SEIU Local 1984.



The weekend’s events will showcase the importance of workers’ rights and show appreciation for the labor community. The highlight of the swing will be a Labor Solidarity Dinner for union members hosted by Sen. Sanders, featuring a speaking program, dinner, music, and dancing.



“Senator Sanders has stood up for workers long before he ran for president,” NH Labor for Bernie Co-Chair Janice Kelble added. “His policies will strengthen the voice of working people. I’m looking forward to an evening of solidarity with the Granite State labor community.”



New Hampshire for Bernie Senior Labor Advisor and NH AFL-CIO President Emeritus Mark McKenzie said, “Bernie Sanders understands the importance of solidarity and has spent a lifetime standing up and fighting for the interests of working families of our country.”



Additional stops include town halls in Franklin, Hillsboro, and Salem, and a rally in Portsmouth.
