Labor Day 2026: Standing Up For Working People
Labor Day is a celebration of the power and solidarity of the union movement. This year, we’re using that power and solidarity to take back our country for working people. We are mobilizing to elect pro-worker candidates who are with us; not with the billionaires, CEOs, and elites.
This weekend is a moment to recommit to our fight for worker power, for good jobs, for technology that works for us, and for solidarity to protect the rights and freedoms of all workers. Here's how you can get involved:
- Register to vote, and make sure your friends and co-workers are also registered.
- Sign up to volunteer for a labor walk or phone bank in support of labor's endorsed candidates.

Capital District ALF: Michael L. Burns Labor Day Celebration

Last year on Labor Day, over 2,000 union members and their families came together to reclaim Labor Day. This year the celebration will take place Labor Day, September 7th, 2026 from noon to 4:00 pm at Joe Bruno Stadium in Troy. Since there is no game that day, we will have this wonderful location to ourselves. Like last year, the event is free and open to all union members, retirees and families. We will have more food stations, shorter lines and more family friendly activities. We are asking everyone attending to bring a non-perishable food item. We are planning to fill a truck for the food pantries and the food bank.
