On September 4, members from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse came together in marches across New York State in honor of Labor

Day. Percy Jackson, an 1199 Del- egate in the Food and Nutrition Department at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, says the day means a lot to him because of his se- cure employment and healthcare.

Strong Transport Assistant Charles Lentine, meanwhile, says Labor Day represents, “1199 and all the hard work our members put in every year.”
