UMWA INVITES YOU TO THE
LABOR UNION FAIR IN WINDOW ROCK!
Date: Monday, August 4
Time: 11:30 AM MT
Location: Window Rock, Arizona
Brothers and Sisters, we are calling on YOU to join us at a truly historic event: the Labor Union Fair in Window Rock!
This isn’t just a gathering—it’s a celebration of solidarity, a chance to reclaim our power as workers, and a unique opportunity to explore the good that unions bring to Indigenous communities across our lands.
Organized by the Nal-NiSHii Federation of Labor, the only AFL-CIO body solely dedicated to representing Indigenous working families in the Navajo Nation region, this event brings the labor movement directly to our doorstep. And we are PROUD to be part of it.
This event is for you if you’ve ever asked:
- “How can I get into a good-paying job?”
- “What are my rights as a worker?”
- “What can I do if my job feels unsafe or unfair?”
- “How do unions help our people?”
At the Labor Union Fair, you’ll be able to:
- Speak one-on-one with union organizers, local leaders, and apprentices
- Explore union-sponsored apprenticeships that can launch lifelong careers in construction, energy, healthcare, education, and more
- Learn about how unions protect workers from exploitation and help build stronger, safer, and more respectful workplaces
- Meet other Indigenous workers who are already organizing for change, right here on your land
This is all part of the AFL-CIO’s national “It’s Better in a Union” Bus Tour—and Window Rock is proudly on the map! The AFL-CIO and its 63 affiliated unions represent nearly 15 million working people, and they’re rolling across the country to uplift voices like ours—Navajo voices, Indigenous voices, workers’ voices.
Whether you’re a high school student wondering about your future, a job seeker looking for new opportunities, or a working family member ready to stand up for better wages and safer conditions, you belong at this event.
Let’s make it known: We are still here. We work hard. We deserve better. And when we stand together in union, we rise together.
So come out to Window Rock on August 4! Bring your friends, your family, and your questions. Walk around. Meet union members. Get inspired. And find out for yourself why, from the mines to the classrooms to the construction sites
It’s Better in a Union!
