Democratic Presidential candidates Sanders and Chafee will be joined by surrogates representing the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Martin O’Malley, as well as Gov. Hassan, Senator Shaheen, Congresswoman Kuster, and numerous NH officials.

Manchester – Today NH AFL-CIO President Glenn Brackett announced the speaking program for the 2015 NH AFL-CIO Labor Day Breakfast.

“The NH AFL-CIO is very proud to welcome these amazing candidates, surrogates, and other officials to the Labor Day Breakfast,” said Brackett. “The 2016 election will be a watershed moment for working people in this country, and I know union members in NH are looking forward to hearing how the Presidential candidates will tackle the issues that matter most to workers and their families: raising the minimum wage, equal pay for equal work, and creating sustainable economic growth.”

Added Brackett, “New Hampshire’s First in the Nation Presidential Primary is a fantastic tradition, and the NH AFL-CIO is honored to be able to host these great candidates. We invited all five declared Democratic candidates, and we were very happy that Sen. Sanders, Gov. Chafee, and representatives of the Clinton and O’Malley campaigns were able to join us.”
