Cincinnati Showcase of Union Pride

Cincinnati welcomed the Union-Industries Show with open arms. The crowds were brisk and, after Mayor Mark Mallory joined AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Rich Trumka and other union leaders to cut the ribbon, they surged ahead to take in the 200 displays of union-made products and services.

A full-size Katrina Cottage—a modular home designed and built by Housing International to fit neatly into Gulf Coast architecture—garnered lots of attention from show-goers, as did the UAW’s expansive layout of 2007 cars and trucks.

The Machinists’ eclectic display—ranging from Harley-Davidson Motorcycles to John Deeretractors, appliances, and a booth featuring the union’sGuide Dogs of America program drew throngs. (IAM’s display was the largest collection of IAM-employers ever, said IAM Secretary-Treasurer Warren Mart.)

USW weighed in with a wide array of products that included household products, cooking utensils, glassware and tires.
